Framed for murder, an orphan weaver must bear a warrior's son within a year to survive.
Orphan weaver Runa sees the chieftain's wife drown her sole friend, Ingrid, then finds herself condemned for the crime. At the execution block, Ingrid's widowed husband Vidar halts his own sword and instead binds Runa to him as a hearth-wife under a brutal ultimatum: produce a male heir in twelve months or die. As the true murderer circles the settlement, Runa scrambles to expose the frame-up while an unexpected tenderness grows between her and the gentle man she supposedly widowed.
