In the Viking Age in Norway, sisters Snæfrid and White-Star have taken different paths in life. Snæfrid is a witch and medium to the Gods, while White-Star has turned into an outlaw viking. After White-Star kills the son of the king during a battle, the insane Queen Gunhild gives Snæfrid an ultimatum: the queen will have Snæfrid’s husband killed, unless Snæfrid assassinates her own sister.
