Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In a medieval fiefdom plagued by natural disasters, a motherless shepherd boy becomes the unlikely focal point of a power struggle that tests faith in brutal ways. Little Marek, the troubled son of the village shepherd, has never known his mother, who his father claimed died at his birth. His only solace comes from his bond with Ina, the blind village midwife who nurtured him as a baby and possesses a remarkable ability to connect with nature. Ina's unique gifts allow her to access sacred knowledge that surpasses the understanding of the other villagers, despite their religious beliefs. However, many, including Father Barnabas, the town priest and servant to the corrupt lord Villiam, view Ina's home in the woods with fear, considering it a godless place. As the villagers face a year of severe drought and famine, their desperate hope for benevolent powers is cruelly tested by Villiam and the priest. When Marek’s fate intertwines violently with the lord's family, new and occult forces disrupt the established order. By the end of the year, the boundaries between blindness and sight, life and death, and the natural and spirit worlds will blur in unexpected ways.
