With 119 pages in length, the work tells the story of a group of women in the dark Europe of the Middle Ages. They decide to gather ancestral knowledge to protect the balance of the Earth and health against the pests that will come. To achieve their objective they must disguise themselves as men to avoid the bonfires where the Inquisition burns the witches and flee to western Finisterre; In a monastery in the center of the continent, wearing male monastic habits, they manage to compile the knowledge of the ancient druids in a book that they write in code.
