The story is set against the backdrop of early 19th century Finland, focusing on themes of national pride, honor, and personal sacrifice during a time of impending conflict with Russia. The characters navigate complex relationships, particularly the bond between Heikki, a young man embroiled in patriotic fervor, and Liisa, a soldier's daughter whose strength and convictions are put to the test. The opening of the novel introduces a lively market scene in Oulu during the autumn of 1807, where the tension of potential conflict with Russia looms over the festivities. Among the crowd, we meet Heikki and Liisa, who engage in spirited discussions about bravery and defense of their homeland, leading to a playful yet competitive exchange. Shortly after, an unexpected incident occurs when a drunken horseman causes chaos, leaving Heikki injured. As he recuperates, he discovers that Liisa, his rival in words, is fiercely dedicated to his recovery. Their evolving dynamic sets the stage for deeper themes of loyalty and sacrifice as they grapple with societal expectations and their own burgeoning feelings for one another.
