In these early chapters the reader is introduced to Ranofer, the protagonist of the story, and his half-brother Gebu, the antagonist. Ranofer is an orphan whose father was a successful goldsmith, a wealthy man who had a servant in his household. Ranofer was well loved and well cared for in his early childhood, but then his father died. Gebu, a half-brother Ranofer knew nothing about, swooped in, took all their father's money and goods, then took Ranofer into his home. Ranofer, who once was a loved and well pampered child, is now the proverbial orphan who is often physically and emotionally abused by his half-brother.
