The night Ronia is born a thunderstorm rages through the mountains so violently that all the beings in Matt’s forest creep in terror into their holes and hiding places. Only the fierce death birds enjoy the storm and they fly, shrieking and hooting, round the robbers’ stronghold on Matt’s mountain.

Ronia’s life begins very dramatically when a lightning bolt strikes, cleaving Matt’s fortress right down the middle. But Matt is so overjoyed about the birth of his daughter that he does not mind. His line will continue, while Borka’s – his archenemy and the age-old archenemy of all the Matts – will die out. When Matt announces to his robbers that he now has an heir while Borka has not, and will likely never have one, they are as happy as he is.

But he is wrong. The same night Ronia is born, a son is born to Borka. His name is Birk. Ronia and Birk are destined to meet, and when they do they become friends. Ronia and Birk find themselves in the middle of their fathers’ feud and the only way they can go on seeing each other is to flee into the deep forest, where their own adventures begin.
