Framed weaver trades execution for a warrior's bed and a lethal deadline.
On Iceland's harsh coast, orphan weaver Runa sees the chieftain's wife drown her dear friend Ingrid, only to be framed for the drowning herself. Condemned to die by Ingrid's husband, the warrior Vidar, she escapes the blade when he declares her his hearth-wife instead. The mercy comes with a savage ultimatum: produce a son within twelve months or face death. As a hidden murderer shadows the village, Runa fights to clear her name while an unexpected tenderness grows between her and the man she supposedly widowed.
