A woman struggles against a man’s shadowy magic as he pins her against a wall. She tells him that she loathes him, and he replies that loving and loathing are essentially the same passion. She tells him vehemently that she hates him, and he asks her to prove it.
While sightseeing in Rome, Genevieve Grimm encounters a flock, or murder, of crows who chase her back to the townhome where she is staying. Her sister Ophelia planned this trip for her as a vacation, but Genevieve has hidden intentions of her own. From her trunk, she retrieves a letter she brought with her from her home in Grimm Manor back in New Orleans. The letter is addressed to her late mother, Tessie Grimm, from a man named Barrington Silver, who implores Tessie to come visit the Enchantra estate before the spring equinox, after which Barrington must take a “sabbatical” to perform duties for someone named Knox. The letter also has a crow depicted in the background of the writing, illustrating the connection between Enchantra and the crows following her, likely as the result of a hex enclosed within the letter. Genevieve opened the letter back in Grimm Manor and became curious about Enchantra, hoping to find out more about her mother’s past from Barrington.
