Set in the Basque Country during the Carlist wars, it narrates the life of Martín Zalacaín, a young man born in the imaginary town of Urbía and raised with his great-uncle Tellagorri among traditions and legends. His combative character and the proximity of the French border lead him to smuggling and, during the Third Carlist War, to move between the warring factions.
It belongs to the Tierra Vasca series, of which it is the third instalment, a trilogy completed by La casa de Aizgorri and El mayorazgo de Labraz.
