Set in a fictional medieval Scandinavia, the story unfolds in the peaceful valley of Burgdale, home to the Wolfings and Elkings tribes. Their harmony is shattered by the invasion of Roman-like Huns, prompting Thiodolf, the Wolfings' chieftain, to lead his people in defense of their land. Through various character perspectives, the narrative explores themes of heroism, sacrifice, and love amidst conflict. William Morris's poetic prose and focus on communal values enrich this adventure, reflecting his socialist ideals while immersing readers in a vivid, epic landscape.
