Some words can kill . . .

To Gude's son and grandchildren it could mean the loss of a loved one.

To Gude it could mean torture and death at the stake.

And to Gude's daughter-in-law it could mean one less mouth to feed.

In a time when famine is rife and panic spreading, people resort to desperate measures in order to survive. So when Gude is accused of witchcraft by her daughter-in-law she must find the strength to clear her name and save her life . . .
