Vendela

Vendela Dalhus has lived with her relatives in Turku since birth. She is strikingly beautiful and intelligent, having been taught the art of healing from a young age. However, what use are skills and beauty if one lacks the means to make use of them? Sir Hartman Garse of Kisko Tuurila is a noble gentleman of the land. It is not wise for a poor orphan to even think of those of his stature. Vendela Dalhus first laid eyes upon the knight in the Turku Cathedral. After that moment, her humble heart rejoices in a rapturous feeling. Vendela does not hope or expect anything; even unrequited love is enough for her. Vendela must travel from Turku to Viborg with a great entourage; however, it is led by Hartman Garse... The passionate love story between the knight and the healer's daughter casts their lives into a whirl of circumstances, transporting the enamored couple from one place to another: from Viborg to Kokemäki, from Kisko to Vehkalahti, while the East remains a perilous place to dwell, where each must fend for themselves; a defenseless being may easily become prey to the stronger.
