It’s not exactly glamorous, but it’s better than the dangers of tangling with real magic. Yet while Zatanna might think she’s done with magic, it’s certainly not done with her. And when a malevolent demon bursts through her stage mid-act, throwing her world into chaos with the promise of more hell to follow, she’ll have to dig deep into the fractured memories of her past if she hopes to summon the power to survive what’s coming.
