Ustinya, a serf girl, a granddaughter of a soothsayer, is far too smart for “not a girl’s business,” though she isn’t the first beauty. And even if her family is poor beyond measure, it’s precisely Usty who is betrothed to the headman Prokop Silyin’s son, while the groom’s brother pines for her. Or is she truly a witch, as jealous women believe? In any case, in times of crop failure, hunger, and other troubles, people blame her. And she would have been killed by an enraged crowd if not for the timely arrival of the Silyins. But now the girl faces punishment worse than death: the estate manager whom she has wronged shows no mercy. Where to look for salvation, who to beg for help? All hope is on the young gentleman Nikita Zakatov—so Usty and the faithful brothers go to him…
