Småland, Sweden, in the winter after the Dacke Rising.
When Karin Nilsdotter finds a royal clerk beneath the old gallows, wolves have already fed on the body. But the tracks tell her what the village would rather not know: the animals came after he was killed.
A broken crossbow bolt points toward a weapon that vanished with Karin's dead husband-the same husband Kvarnhult remembers as a traitor. Then the clerk's papers disappear, another man dies, and suspicion falls on Karin's brother.
To clear his name, Karin follows what snow, iron, grain accounts, and damaged records can prove. The trail leads back to a wartime bargain that kept Kvarnhult alive by giving the crown names.
Someone has spent nine months protecting that bargain.
Now someone is killing to keep its true cost buried.
