The Tribe of Fire safely celebrated the New Year—that is, the Festival of the Winter Solstice. Now, ahead, are new dangerous journeys: a skiing trip to the Great Hunt in the tundra-steppe and a summer voyage for kaolin and tin ore. And against the backdrop of exciting adventures, the hardened feminist Lucy undergoes a surprising transformation, while the tribe unexpectedly gains new members in the form of an 18th-century French nobleman, as well as an entire group of romanized Celts from the time of King Arthur.
