When seraphim angels begin appearing and attacking the shop, Karou discovers her true identity is tied to an ancient war between angels and chimera, and she must navigate a complex romance with the angel Akiva while uncovering the truth about her past. The story features Czech cultural elements and explores themes of identity, war's consequences, love transcending boundaries, and found family dynamics.
