It follows the tumultuous life of Sidonia von Bork, who is accused of witchcraft and is blamed for the misfortunes of the ducal family of Pomerania, including causing sterility in their line. The book explores themes of power, supernatural beliefs, and societal fears about witchcraft. The opening of the novel sets the historical context by detailing the infamous trial and execution of Sidonia von Bork, a noblewoman accused of sorcery and witchcraft in 1620. It begins with a preface by Dr. Theodore Plönnies, offering insights into Sidonia's early life and education, underlining her contentious relationships with the noble class, particularly her father Otto von Bork. Full of intrigue, the early chapters depict the circumstances surrounding her rise to notoriety, her interactions at the court, and hints at the jealousy and revenge that will define her fate. The narrative portrays a society steeped in superstition and the consequences of a woman who dares to confront the social norms of her time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
