Marra is the youngest of three princesses. Her eldest sister Damia marries Prince Vorling, but dies several months later. Kania, the middle sister, then marries Vorling. Marra is sent to a convent. Kania's daughter dies. At the funeral, she tells Marra that Vorling is abusing her. Marra decides to leave the convent and save her sister. Marra seeks help from a dust-wife, who gives her three seemingly impossible tasks: weave a cloak from nettles, make a dog from bones, and catch moonlight in a jar. After Marra completes the tasks, the dust-witch agrees to help her kill Vorling. Along with a demon-possessed chicken, the pair journey to Vorling's kingdom. Along the way, they rescue a knight named Fenris from a goblin market. They also recruit Agnes, Marra's fairy godmother. Agnes is a well-meaning godmother who is much better at giving curses than blessings. Agnes takes Marra to meet with Vorling's fairy godmother. The godmother is bound to Vorling's family due to a curse from a long-dead king. Marra and her friends break the curse, allowing the old godmother to die peacefully. Kania gives birth to a healthy baby boy. At the christening, Agnes claims the role of godmother. She curses the baby to grow up fatherless. Fenris kills Vorling. Kania becomes queen regent. Marra and Fenris fall in love and leave Kania's kingdom together.
