She is revealed to be a witch and is accused of practicing dark magic. As tensions rise and accusations fly, Frey must decide whether to stand by his wife or abandon her to save his own reputation and honor.The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal, as well as the clash between pagan and Christian beliefs.
