The novel is set in the reign of "old King Henry VI" (1422–1461, 1470–1471) and during the Wars of the Roses (1455–1487). The story begins with the Tunstall Moat House alarm bell, rung to summon recruits for its absent lord Sir Daniel Brackley, to join the Battle of Risingham; at which the outlaw "fellowship" known as "the Black Arrow" begins to strike with its "four black arrows" for the "four black hearts" of Brackley and three of his retainers: Nicholas Appleyard, Bennet Hatch, and Sir Oliver Oates, the parson. The rhyme posted in explanation of this attack, makes the protagonist Richard ('Dick') Shelton, ward of Sir Daniel, curious about the death of his father Sir Harry Shelton. Having been dispatched to Kettley, where Sir Daniel was quartered, and sent to Tunstall Moat House by return dispatch, he falls in with a fugitive, Joanna Sedley, disguised as a boy with the alias of John Matcham: an heiress kidnapped by Sir Daniel to obtain guardianship over her and to retain his control over Richard by marrying her to him.

He meets, during his wanderings, Madge, the daughter of Donald Maclvor. They fall in love at sight. Unaware of Shon's real identity, the old father refuses to sanction the match. He prefers to give his daughter to the wealthy Laird of the Isla. When the girl carries this news to her lover he tells her to "Be of good cheer, my bonny lass; I'll pipe them a tune of another class." The wedding day is fixed and the Laird leads his melancholy fiancee forth. Shon visits the feast in the garb of a harpist. He amuses the guests for a while and then, throwing off his disguise, escapes with Madge from a window. But previous to this, Shon has called his clan together and when speeding away to his mansion, they cover his retreat.

Ayant reçu une éducation chrétienne, elle se croit une vocation religieuse : on la découvre troublée par ses élans mystiques lors de ses heures pianistiques. Elle s'éprend de son professeur de piano, Claude Morillot (Amleto Novelli), lorsqu'ils jouent à quatre mains La Marche nuptiale de Felix Mendelssohn. Si celui montre un caractère aimable, il n'en reste pas moins de caractère faible, de talent médiocre et surtout d'un milieu social très inférieur au sien. Face au refus par ses parents d'un mariage, Grâce rompt avec sa famille pour suivre son aimé et reste quelque temps héroïque à ses côtés dans l'adversité. Le destin semble se montrer plus clément lorsqu'elle rencontre son ancienne amie Suzanne, mariée au banquier Roger Le Chatelier, qui engage Claude. Lorsque Grâce exprime son souhait d'avoir un piano, Claude subtilise de l'argent dans une caisse appartenant au riche couple. Grâce est consternée et déprimée par cet acte vil. Elle retrouve joie pour un instant quand, rejoignant le riche couple, elle espère une romance avec Roger. Mais elle retourne finalement vers Claude. Elle éprouve un autre éphémère moment de joie lorsque celui-ci joue encore une fois La Marche nuptiale. Puis, soudainement, on entend un violent coup de feu : Grâce s'est suicidée.
