The book centers around Aalo, the wife of the forest ranger Priidik, who is drawn into a dark transformation and becomes embroiled in witchcraft and the lore of werewolves. The narrative intertwines themes of love, the supernatural, and the conflict between good and evil within the backdrop of a historical setting in Hiidenmaa.

The tale begins with a description of the natural world around her, as well as the increasing menace posed by wolves in the region, reflecting the chaos that grips the land.
