Despite the warnings of her father and her betrothed, Wanda falls in love with Dimitri and embarks on a dangerous journey to join him and his band of rebels.As Wanda and Dimitri journey across the Polish countryside, they encounter a host of colorful characters and face numerous challenges, including battles with the Polish army and the treachery of some of their own comrades.
