The archer Jumong, who will found the kingdom of Goguryeo, loves Yerang and is hunted by the princes of Buyeo, who fear his skill, and he leaves with his mother's blessing to build a country of his own. Yi Kwang-su's late novel gives the foundation myth the shape of a love story. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.
