A continuation of the series steeped in medieval everyday life of the Scandinavian Viking era.
In the Land of Fire, devastated by the army of a madman, there is no mercy, no compassion. Monsters from Bosch’s paintings walk among people, and the dead don’t want to die for good. The War of the Gods is approaching — in which death is not yet the worst fate. Vuko Drakkainen, a human, a scout, a warrior, understands that there is only one way to survive the coming catastrophe: to unravel the secret of Midgard. But first he must escape from that terrible, incomprehensible trap — and the price of freedom will be very high.
On the other end of the world, the prince of a destroyed state tries to take revenge for his own family and people. Wandering through a country consumed by religious frenzy, he still doesn’t know that in his search for retribution he will come to the place where he can lose far more than what he has already been stripped of — to the place where the last rays of the sun go out. Right into the heart of darkness.
