Marie focuses on Allan Quatermain as a young man, and his romance with his first wife, Marie Marais, a Boer farm girl. Marie's father and cousin both oppose the marriage. Qautermain is involved in the Sixth Xhosa War in 1835, and in a fun blend of fiction and reality, he encounters real people including the Zulu chief Dingane, Piet Retief, and Thomas Halstead.
