Orphan weaver dodges execution, marries her friend's husband, must produce heir in one year.

  1. Orphan weaver Runa sees the chieftain's wife drown her only friend Ingrid, then finds herself accused of the drowning. Vidar, Ingrid's warrior husband, prepares to execute her but halts his sword at the final instant.

  2. Instead of death, Vidar claims Runa as his hearth-wife with a brutal condition: she must bear him a son within twelve months or forfeit her life. The arrangement binds her to the man whose wife she allegedly killed.

  3. While the real murderer shadows the settlement, Runa searches for proof of her innocence. An unexpected power stirs inside her, and affection grows for the gentle warrior she is accused of widowing.
