The story is set during the late medieval period, specifically in the year 1406, and follows the life of the young noble Jonker Willem van Arkel as he navigates the complex political landscape of his time.

The opening of the story introduces an edifice associated with the protagonist's family and sets the stage for unfolding drama.
