Głównym wątkiem spajającym fabułę pierwszej części Trylogii uczynił pisarz burzliwe dzieje miłości odważnego rycerza bez skazy – Jana Skrzetuskiego i urodziwej, niewinnej szlachcianki – Heleny Kurcewiczówny, którzy rozdzieleni przez wrogów i przeciwności losu, przeżywają liczne perypetie. ![]() W czarno-biały schemat wpisani zostali także – wbrew prawdzie historycznej – przywódcy walczących stron.
