Čtyřdílná kronika vypráví o osudech severočeského podnikatelského rodu Heřmanů od konce 17. století až do zrušení nevolnictví na sklonku 18. století. Životní peripetie členů rodu, kteří se stanou sklářskými a textilními podnikateli, umělci, úředníky i učenci, se prolínají s příběhy rázovitých severočeských postav – hraběcím rodem Kinských, sloupskými poustevníky, polevskými a šenovskými obchodníky, členy tajných evangelických sekt, jezuity i rozmanitými císařskými úředníky a kněžími. V závěrečném dílu tetralogie se vrací Falknovská huť částečně zpět do vlastnictví rodu Heřmanů.

Stopy v podobě včely, klíče a meče ho postupně přivedou na maškarní večírek v New Yorku, do tajného klubu a obrovské knihovny, ukryté hluboko pod povrchem země. V domově ztracených měst a moří a dávno zapomenutých příběhů přestávají platit běžné zákony prostoru a času.

When Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont, announced that two oxen called Bill and Lou would be killed and turned into hamburgers despite their years of service as unofficial college and town mascots, Pattrice Jones and her colleagues at nearby VINE Sanctuary offered an alternative scenario: to allow the elderly bovines to retire to the sanctuary. What transpired after this simple offer was a catastrophe of miscommunication, misdirection, and misinterpretations, as the college dug in its heels, activists piled on, and social media erupted. Part true-crime mystery, part on-the-ground reportage, and part sociocultural critique, The Oxen at the Intersection is a brilliant unearthing of the assumptions, preconceptions, and biases that led all concerned with the lives and deaths of these two animals to fail to achieve their ends.
