XI century, England. The invasion of the army by the army of the Norman duke William, who became the new king of England, completely changed the life of Elgita, the daughter of a poor Tan from East England. But she, unlike many, found much more than she lost. Norman knight Maurice de Granville, who took possession of her estate, not only gave her reliable protection, but also healed her crippled soul and taught her to love. The storm that had been roaring on the island for a long six years brought Elgita a wonderful husband and the joy of family life. Even in the darkest periods of history, people remain people - they seek and find their happiness.
