Determined to face her fate with dignity and courage, Sissa stands courageously in the little shed they have locked her into, but finally, she faints.The morning after the sacrifice she wakes up, still alive. Torbi, Sissa's brother, lets her out, but he’s shocked to see her because they all thought Sissa was killed the evening before. Soon, they discover that another girl was sacrificed instead. The village is in turmoil and Jarl Ingolf, who performed the sacrifice himself, is devastated.Einarr, the Jarl’s charismatic and dangerous brother, is given the task to find out what happened and because of her ability to figure things out, he asks Sissa to help him.One of the suspects is Einarr’s only son Josteinn; the boy Sissa has had her eyes on her whole life, but there are others who could be guilty, and as Sissa and Einarr find out more about what happened, things start to become dangerous.When Joss starts to pay her attention, Sissa has to decide how she wants to live her life. Can she be content living her life in the village as Josteinn's thrall, his property? Or have the gods carved different runes of fate into the roots of Yggdrasil for her?
