The story is set in the tumultuous backdrop of the Reformation era, focusing on the marriage of Anne of Saxony to William of Orange, a union fraught with political and religious implications. The opening chapters introduce key characters including the alchemist Magister Gustave Vanderlinden and Anne herself, providing a vivid setting of intrigue and personal conflict. The beginning of the book immerses readers in the life of Vanderlinden, whose failed alchemical experiments parallel the complexities of the royal marriage he must navigate. Through Vanderlinden's interactions with the Elector and the anticipation surrounding Anne's wedding, the narrative explores themes of faith, duty, and personal ambition. While Anne grapples with her impending marriage to a Papist prince, the alchemist remains focused on his lofty quests, setting the stage for the intertwining of their fates against the backdrop of a society on the brink of change. This opening portion effectively blends character development with the historical context and foreshadows the tensions that will arise from the marriage and its broader implications.
