Set amid the 16th‑century Ottoman pressure on Hungary, it follows the boy Gergely Bornemissza, his friend Éva Cecey, and the soldier Dobó István as their fates entwine with raids, captivity, and local resistance. Expect village life under siege, narrow escapes, and the first stirrings of the larger struggle that will center on Eger. The opening of the novel introduces two children, Gergő and Éva, who are seized by a one‑eyed janissary’s raiding party while playing by a forest stream. In Cecey Péter’s household we meet Dobó István, fresh from destroying Móré’s stronghold, and hear heated talk of rival kings and the Turkish menace. Among the prisoners the children witness a grim camp, a forced march, and a night by the fire where a scarred man (linked to Móré) bargains with the janissary to lead him to Cecey’s supposed treasure. At night Gergő slips free with Éva, steals back a gray horse (and the tethered Turkish pony), and rides home; the village rejoices, and his warning alerts Cecey and Dobó to an imminent raid.
