Set in the early seventeenth century, the story explores the Principality of Transylvania, a newly formed state emerging from the remnants of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. While its rulers were vassals of the Ottoman Empire, they maintained significant autonomy in domestic affairs. The narrative delves into the challenges faced by this young state during a tumultuous period marked by conflict between the Ottomans and the Habsburgs, highlighting the complex political landscape of the time.
