Thanks to Netgalley and Legend Press for a copy of this book.

In an oppressive, patriarchal, religious society (medieval Moldova) two young women, from different backgrounds, Elena and Mira fall in love. In a world where women's lives are decided for them how can they choose their own path?

This book gives us excellent scene setting and well fleshed out main characters and some great side characters, mainly the widow, Rozalia, who doesn't ascribe to the church. This is not a lighthearted read; parts of this story are devastating. A real page turner.
