The story of The Trossfrau by Carmen Mayer is a historical novel that recounts the events of the Thirty Years' War.

She is taken to Krems, where she gets caught between the Catholic and Protestant fronts of the war. With toil and hardship, she manages to earn her living and eventually enters into a marriage. However, her life is marked by the encounter with a witch who puts her in danger. Magdalena's novel troupe is a mixture of friends and enemies she finds on her journey through the war.
