The story of the town of Cardamom and the people there, as well as the only characters who stir up serious trouble.

The little witch is already 127 years old, but that's no age for a real witch! She lives with a nice green crow named Aabram in a tiny hut in a thick forest, which, like all other witches' houses, stands on chicken legs. As you can imagine, she is busy all day to learn all the wisdom of the witches. Anyway, the little witch is quite different from the usual fairy tale witches.

Pastor Paul Lempelius comes to the island of HIiumaa that seems to be like the world's end. While serving the pastorate of Reigi in spirit and in truth, Lempelius hopes to get rid of the burden of destiny. However, the local people favour pagan traditions and distrust the strict kingdom of God that Lempelius teaches them. The pastor's beautiful yet childless wife Catharina yearns for joy of life and tenderness that she won't receive from his husband. Instead, a young assistant pastor Jonas Kempe offers her his love. Their love, disregarding all laws, and the primal lifestyle of the islanders will become the touchstone for Lempelius' redemption.
