På en og samme tid udspiller sig en kaerlighedshistorie og en tragedie med adelsmanden Jørgen Lykke som centrum i 1500-tallets Danmark. Det er reformationstidens brydning mellem konge, adel og magt, som danner baggrunden, men først og fremmest er det den tragiske fortaelling om adelsmanden, som bliver mere og mere skruppelløs i sin jagt efter rigdom og magt. Thit Jensen selv mente, at hun havde en spirituel forbindelse til sine mange historiske figurer, som satte hende i stand til at portraettere dem akkurat, og som hun byggede fortaellingerne op ud fra. Denne spiritualitet praeger i høj grad både romanen Jørgen Lykke og Thit Jensens mange andre store historiske romaner.
