The story revolves around Afra, a young woman grappling with the death of her father and the impending changes in her life due to the succession of a new lord at the castle of Wartalun. The novel explores themes of loss, identity, and the struggle for ownership and belonging amid the uncertainties brought on by new power dynamics. The opening of the narrative introduces Afra as she lies in a cornfield, lost in contemplation of her past life at Wartalun, now threatened by the changes that follow her father's passing. As she reflects on her connection to the old lord and her unease about the impending arrival of the new master, she is joined by Martin, a familiar figure from her past. Through their interaction, we glimpse Afra's determination to assert her identity and her deep emotional ties to the estate. The chapter sets a contemplative tone, highlighting her inner turmoil as she faces the uncertainties of her future in a rapidly changing world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
