Nicholas North was born with the gift of immortality - but for him it is not a gift, but a curse. An ominous legend says that he will lead the people of the North to death. Nicholas is a homeless orphan who became a highway thief: his village was razed to the ground, and the boy lost his parents in a fight with a monstrous beast. The cause of all his misfortunes is the evil ice queen Kalmatar, who is ready to take possession of the power of Nicholas’s immortality at any cost.
