Sulle sponde del fiume Mirkwood, in una fertile pianura circondata da fitti boschi, vivono felicemente le tribù gotiche della Gente della Marca. Una sera d'estate lo squillo di un corno squarcia l'aria e un messaggero irrompe nella Dimora dei Wolfings: tra le mani stringe una lancia spezzata, prova dell'avanzata dell'esercito romano. Sarà Thiodolf, saggio capo guerriero della Casata dei Wolfings e discendente di una misteriosa stirpe, a condurre i suoi uomini in battaglia a fianco delle casate alleate della Marca.
