An intriguing tale about a girl named Vonceil whose family is cursed by a salt witch to never have access to fresh water at their home and farm. Her brother Elber has recently returned from the war, scarred both inside and out. He was unknowingly the affection of the salt witch, and so when he marries, she curses the family. Vonceil sets off to find a way to reverse the curse to save her family and home. Multiple storylines from different time periods are shown and we are drawn into a world full of unusual magical beings, with a bittersweet ending.
