Framed weaver becomes warrior's wife to survive.

Orphan weaver Runa witnesses the chieftain's wife drown her only friend, Ingrid, then finds herself accused of the crime. Sentenced to death by Ingrid's husband, the warrior Vidar, she is spared at the final moment when he claims her as his hearth-wife instead. The arrangement carries a brutal condition: she must bear him a son within a year or face execution. As a hidden killer stalks the settlement and an unfamiliar power stirs within her, Runa works to uncover the truth behind the murder while navigating a growing bond with the gentle man whose wife she supposedly killed.
