Each Ástfríður must choose which metal they would wear upon their heads, denoting the path they would walk. They craft beautiful horns to wear on their brow, forged with the metal they wish to identify with. But Britt does not know if they can choose the path they want, if they can overcome a past that has stolen their identity. The day has come for them to choose and they do not know if they have any right even to try to. And Astrid has never felt the pull of the metal at all. Wearing a fraudulent circlet and horn, they try to navigate a world that they feel has rejected them, fearing someone will learn their secret.
The Veil of the Ástfríður has kept them hidden from the world, and safe from intruders. Yet Britt and Astrid feel they are imposters in their own homes.
