The novel explores the complex relationships between the brothers, their father, and the people around them. Raoul is loved and respected by all who know him, while Guy is despised and mistrusted. When their father dies, Raoul inherits the seigneurie, but Guy schemes to take it for himself. As the story unfolds, the brothers become embroiled in a series of conflicts and battles, both with each other and with external enemies. Raoul proves himself to be a skilled warrior and leader, while Guy's cowardice and treachery bring him nothing but trouble.
