The novel is a work of the imagination and not an excerpt from real history. Much of the atmosphere of the war events around 1806 has been lost. Where there were no credible records, I used my imagination. Nikolas, the monk, shaken by the terrible suffering of the people caused by the war, can no longer serve the monastery, tries to find happiness in worldly life and meets Hilde. Katarina, at the end of her strength, seeks salvation in the convent and has the wish to become a nun. Together with Ferdinand, the medicus, she experiences the deep happiness of love. Destiny wants her to fulfill another task, which she has to look for in Lynhart.
