The story introduces us to the character Sintram, the son of the knight Biorn, who grapples with intense fears and dark visions that haunt him, intertwining themes of death and redemption as his family’s troubled lineage unfolds. At the start of the novel, Sintram's disturbing episodes are highlighted as the boy, pale and terrified, interrupts a gathering of knights in his father's castle, claiming to be pursued by Death and another entity. His father, Biorn, dismisses the boy's fears, but the presence of the chaplain stirs the need to explore Sintram's plight further. As the narrative progresses, it reveals a tragic backstory concerning a dark vow made by Biorn during a Christmas feast that has led to his son’s affliction. The early chapters establish a foreboding atmosphere filled with tension, fear, and the supernatural, laying the groundwork for Sintram’s journey of self-discovery, moral struggle, and the eventual interplay of fate and free will against a backdrop of noble chivalry and romantic idealism.
