Three women's fight for survival in a time of madness
Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of "The Mercies," Norway, 1662. A dangerous time to be a woman, when even dancing can lead to accusations of witchcraft. After recently widowed Zigri's affair with the local merchant is discovered, she is sent to the fortress at Vardø to be tried as a witch.
Zigri's daughter Ingeborg sets off into the wilderness to try to bring her mother back home. Accompanying her on this quest is Maren, herself the daughter of a witch, whose wild nature and unconquerable spirit gives Ingeborg the courage to venture into the unknown and to risk all she has to save her family.
Also captive in the fortress is Anna Rhodius, once the King of Denmark's mistress, who has been sent in disgrace to the island of Vardø. What will she do - and who will she betray - to return to her privileged life at court?
These Witches of Vardø are stronger than even the King. In an age weighted against them, they refuse to be victims. All they need do is show their power.
An intricately woven, timeless novel about prejudice, misogyny, freedom, and the power and strength we can find within.
