The narrative unfolds during the 15th century, exploring the intertwining lives of its characters against the backdrop of springtime in Finland. The story primarily revolves around Katarina Tavast, the wife of a wealthy lord, and Juhana Olavinpoika, a young steward, as they navigate their complex feelings of love, desire, and societal constraints. At the start of the novel, a small spring flows down a hillside, reflecting the vibrancy of life and the promise of renewal. As the spring gathers strength and pushes past obstacles, it becomes a metaphor for the characters' journeys. The narrative introduces Katarina and Juhana as they stroll along a path, revealing their shared past and blossoming emotions. While Katarina experiences a longing for the freedom of spring, Juhana grapples with his unexpressed feelings for her, which begin to transform their innocent companionship into something deeper.
