The story is set in the medieval city of Nuremberg circa 1281 and delves into the lives of its inhabitants, providing a rich tapestry of historical context as families navigate personal desires against the backdrop of political and social happenings. The narrative unfolds through the lives of two couples: Wolff Eysvogel, the son of a wealthy merchant, and his betrothed, Els Ortlieb, as well as the more adventurous relationship between the knight Heinz Schorlin and Eva Ortlieb, Els's sister.

Wolff struggles with the demands of his family business while feeling the weight of his future commitment to Els. At the same time, Eva grapples with her desire for a life devoted to faith against the temptations of worldly love, particularly as she becomes enchanted by Heinz, whose boldness and devotion present both a romantic opportunity and a challenge to her values.
