The story centers on the turbulent times in Scotland during the 17th century, particularly focusing on the struggles of the Church of Scotland against royal oppression and the quest for religious freedom. The main characters introduced include minister Andrew Gray, his children David and Agnes, and their journey to Edinburgh where the nation gathers to sign a significant Covenant at a pivotal moment in history. The opening of the tale depicts a family journeying to Edinburgh as a dramatic political movement begins to unfold.
