The main characters of the narrative are Kieviters. There are the son of Kiev head-of-thousand Aleksa and daughter of ordinary gunsmith Lyubava. He happened to meet her and fell in love. Aleksa and Lyubava had to go through a great load of trials, class, and simply human in order to be together. Their son Yura was born. His birth has reconciled everybody and brought peace into the family.
New severe trails were waiting for the characters. The terrible menace of the Mongol inroad hung over the world. A lot of rich countries fell. Flourished before cities lied in ruins. The misfortune has come to Rus as well.
