In the year 1258, two boys vanish from Uri: Wilhelm Urner, the son of a craftsman, and Walter von Wolfenschie en, heir to a knightly house. On the small Misty Isle in Lake Uri, they seek freedom and find themselves caught up in the turmoil of their times. They are soon joined by Judith ab Dorf, a girl of concealed heritage. Between the towers of Bürglen, the narrow streets of Altdorf, and the feud between the clans of Uri and Nidwalden unfolds a tale of friendship, betrayal, and buried secrets. From childish defiance grows a destiny that will change Uri forever.
