Román se odehrává v Británii, na panství Alderich v několika posledních týdnech roku 999. Hrdinkou je devatenáctiletá Serath, která je vnučkou lorda z Alderichu. Ten ji donutil vstoupit do kláštera, aby tak odčinila hříchy své matky, kterou nechal upálit jako čarodějnici. Serath je při útěku z kláštera unesena Rafaelem z Leonhartu, na jehož rod má podle pověsti v první den nového milénia přejít vláda nad Alderichem. Lord chce, aby vnučka Rafaela otrávila, ale Serath to neudělá, protože se do sebe s Rafaelem zamilovali. Na Štědrý den, který je považován za poslední ve starém tisíciletí, lord z Alderichu zapálí hrad, aby nepřipadl nikomu z Leonhartů. Sám při požáru uhoří. Serath s Rafaelem potom sňatkem potvrdí společnou vládu obou rodů.
