Blood and Clay

logline

1915: The World War rages in Europe. The Viennese necromancer Prof. Waltz, siding with the Triple Alliance(Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy) and his counterpart, the Hat Maker, a British spiritualist siding with the Triple-Entente( France, Russia and Britain) both strive for paranormal armament.
They have already resurrected dead in battle and are now searching for the source of the magical clay to form an army of invincible golems. Only the young rogue Lizbeth knows the secret of the clay and hence finds herself in a key position in this global conflict.

When Director Kosswick and Wolfboy, two characters from her past, return from the dead, Lizbeth must face her guilt towards Wolfboy and confront her nemesis Kosswick to stop the hellish escalation of the war.
