So begins one last challenge for Thorgal and his son Jolan - a final chance to obtain what they've always dreamed of: a quiet, uneventful life.
Thorgal's coming-of-age is painfully similar to the rest of his life: the young man finds himself tied up to the stone of sacrifice by Gandalf the Mad, king of the Vikings of the North and father of his beloved Aaricia. There, the Child of the Stars can do nothing but wait for the coming tide - and death. Until, that is, a mysterious sorceress with flaming red hair comes to offer him a deal: his life, and revenge, against one year in her service.
Thorgal and his family are back in Europe, where a pregnant Aaricia insists on giving birth in Northland.

One night, in a burntout cottage, he meets Torric, an escaped slave, and finds a strange ring in the ashes. An extraordinary adventure begins.
