The gods converged in the last battle with monsters, foretelling Ragnarök—the end of the world. An eternal winter arrived; feuds and hunger swept over people. But in the freezing lands there remained hope for rescue.
The chosen ones. The immortal konung Skall united the survivors and led them south. Völva Ulla turned to the gods to find and point out the right path in the darkness.
But what truly drives the chosen ones? Are they capable of helping, or are their goals far more selfish?
The first part of the Scandinavian trilogy about Ragnarök and people left one on one with monsters. The main characters head south; Thor fights Jörmungandr, and the world gradually loses the colors of life—does it even have colors of the sun and the moon anymore… or does it?
One story told by different heroes: the proud völva Ulla, the determined daughter of the jarl Rákel, and the immortal konung Skall. When the gods are gone, only people will remain. Feelings and ambitions, desires and disappointment. An emotional story of survival and the importance of staying together.
A dangerous journey brings the heroes unpleasant surprises and forces them to open their eyes. And while some grow stronger under the pressure of adversity, others discover the terrible truth within themselves.
