Once the fantastic Glacier enclosed the Raumsdalian Empire. Now it’s busted open, and Count number Hamnet Thyssen encounters a new world. Along with the wisecracking Ulric Skakki, the neighboring clan head Trasamund (politely tackled as Your Ferocity), and his lover, the shaman Liv, Hamnet leads an exploration of the new place in hopes of finding the legendary Golden Shrine.
But problems abound. A violent and implacable group known as the Rulers has already killed many, and now they attack again. Riding deer and woolly mammoths and using powerful magic, the Rulers triumph and induce the Raumsdalians to flee.
In the planting season another challenge ends even more terribly for Hamnet's part, however the Glacier is also retreating, so they could escape. Meeting a tribe whose desperate living conditions have led these to triumph over the Raumsdalian taboo against eating fallen foes, they find unexpected allies. Now, time for the administrative centre city and its own intrigues, Hamnet prepares to lead an army resistant to the merciless Rulers. The entire world, once so bounded and comprehensible, won't be the same…
