The ice longship breaks through the cold waves of the autumn sea, leaving behind the burning settlements of the Coast of Sails. The emperor's son, who has lost everything and become a slave, goes towards his destiny. His meeting with the alien who descended from heaven is approaching, and the Ice Garden, a strange fortress, unlike anything in Midgard, is already rising on the horizon. A fortress somewhat familiar to Vuko Drakkainen, the Night Wanderer. What does tomorrow have in store when the threat of a new War of the Gods looms ever more clearly on the horizon? Who will survive this war - and will they remain human? And the secrets that Midgard hides may threaten not only it, but also the Earth.
