A farmer’s daughter, Aren, gets married when she thought she was doomed to be an old maid. Then on the second day of her marriage, everything goes wrong. Raiders kill her husband, his brother, and her parents. She could see it was happening and ran to her hidden cellar, terrified she would suffer the same fate. Magic is considered evil, even having the sight. But she sees more and feels compelled to warn the villagers, even though she knows they can condemn her to death. While in the village, a great earthquake happens, and the villagers and farmers fear it will cut them off from the town where they sell their produce. As they go over the Hob, a mountain between them and their destination, Aren is ‘saved’ by the Hob. He is bound to the mountain and is a strong magical spirit. More spirits attack the village and Aren returns to the Hob to strike a bargain for his protection. But what he wants in return is her.
