In Zagorka's own words, the novel depicts three completely different love couples, "each of whom, with their own love and their own idea, will have their own audience."
The novel is based on historical sources about the reign of King Stephen VI and his son Ladislaus IV Kuman. The events take place in Croatia and Hungary (Grič, Buda, Požega) in the 13th century, in a time that covers the last year of Stephen's reign (1272) and the first year of the reign of the minor Ladislaus and his mother Elizabeth, Stephen's widow (1273). This is a time of the Catholic Church's struggle against the "heretical" Bogomils, the conflict and reconciliation of the Hungarian kings with Rudolf of Habsburg and the Czech king Ottokar, and the quarrels of the Croatian nobles of the Gissings and Babonics, that is, a time of "mad superstition", "the frenzy of hysterical bloodlust", "the age of madness and hysteria" in which only the "right of the stronger" reigns.
