All the events of this project are centered around the family of hereditary good sorceresses Halliwell. For many centuries, sorcerers from this genus have accumulated magical power and believed that in the future among their descendants will appear the 3 most powerful witches in the world. Everything came true in the XX century, and these powerful good sorceresses were Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell.
However, the forces of evil did not stand aside, because many demons wanted to get the girls' abilities. Therefore, the sisters had to forget about peace and begin to constantly fight, protecting not only themselves, but also innocent people.
Throughout the seasons of the project, the trio of sorceresses are constantly helped by the guardian angel Leo, who later marries Piper and becomes the father of her two children. Also, at different times, different people come to the aid of girls, and sometimes even demons.

Events of the 9th and 10th season of comics
Having considered how the series Enchanted ended, about the 9th and 10th seasons of the comics of the same name, it is worthwhile to find out.
The events of graphic novels begin 1.5 years after the finale of the 8th season. As in the series, almost the entire plot is based on the battles of girls with evil. However, this time the Charmed ones have to combine their struggle with caring for husbands and children.
In fact, there is nothing new and really interesting in comics. Since their creators exploit the theme of the revival of the Source of global evil, as well as the attempts of demons to change the past of the Enchanted.
That is why this series of graphic short stories could not become popular and was closed.
