Crafts and Life

After she has been charged with witchcraft, sixteen-year-old Talitha escapes to the abandoned Cursed Lands and seeks the ancient cave of her ancestors. In the deep woods, she starts to remember her ancestral lore of healing and magical symbolism and receives guidance on how to survive from the local spirits.
But soon she’s captured by two men, who were sent to take her to the local justice. One is a brute, but the other one is fatally attracted to her. After Talitha manages to escape them, she finds her ancestral cave, but also another one at the highest peak of the forest where a group of refugee women have established a camp. By facing both the dark and bright side of her kin, Talitha learns that what she thought was her curse, may yet become her gift.

Talitha takes after her Grandmother, a wise woman or as others said a witch, when Talitha tries to heal her younger brother (who was attacked by a wolf), but he dies anyway the locals (including her own family!) attack her and then plan to kill her as a murdering witch, she manages to escape and gets towards the Cursed Lands, only to be captured by two men sent to drag her back to her fate.  The story from then on in is her struggle against the men, her struggle to accept what/who she is and a fight against the darkness within and without.
