These are dark and bloody times for those living in Nordic Europe.

Different churches are at war over territory and believers. Nations are at war over land and resources.

Heldin is a witch, strong in her own right. A solitary practitioner searching for a peaceful place to live and have a life of simplicity.

But fate has other plans.

She is in need of a certain old magic, a grimoire hidden by an elder wise woman in the ruins of an old castle. She manages to find the location along with terrible news. The book’s last resting place was also where the wise woman died from its power. It is considered a cursed land and nobody dares to go near.

Except for her.
