Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King. But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen? Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave... That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue's fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people's only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else. Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny. But perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade. Look out for the original Netflix series starring Katherine Langford streaming everywhere Summer 2020!

Strhující thriller o tajemných a nadpřirozených věcech. Vystupují v něm například sir Artur Conan Doyle, autor Sherlocka Holmese, a mistr úniků Harry Houdini. Děj se odehrává v roce 1919. Vybraná skupina vizionářů, zvaná Arcanum, na sebe bere úkol zajistit bezpečí lidstva. Konstantin Duvall, zakladatel Arcana, umírá v londýnském Hyde Parku při podezřelé nehodě. Člen Arcana, sir Arthur Conan Doyle, je zdrcen a rozhodne se, že pomstí Duvallovu smrt a odhalí tajemství s ním spojené. Duvall totiž vlastnil nejmocnější artefakt světa: Henochovu knihu, záznam Božích omylů, která ale zmizela. Conan Doyle se vydává na cestu, která ho přivede až do podsvětí New Yorku a k řadě zdánlivě nesouvisejících vražd. Doyle svolá ostatní členy Arcana a všichni se ocitají v boji mezi temnotou a světlem.
