The novel, set among Charlemagne's paladins, follows Agilulfo, a knight who exists solely through his will and the armor he wears, as he lacks a body. Amid battles and duels, the narrative combines the tone of chivalric poems with an ironic and symbolic reflection on identity and the human condition.
