Thorgal Aegirson est en mauvaise posture : il est enchaîné à un rocher et est condamné à mourir, noyé par la marée montante. Son crime est d'avoir osé aimer Aaricia, la fille du roi des Vikings du Nord, lui, le bâtard né d'on ne sait qui et on ne sait où. Il doit son salut à une magicienne qui le sauve en échange de son obéissance...
This first book was meant as a pilot that set the tone for the series and consists of two separate stories.
The Ice Queen
Young Thorgal is sentenced to death by the king of the Vikings - Gandalf the Mad who is the father of Aaricia - Thorgals lover. While condemned he is rescued by a mysterious, red-haired sorceress who wants to use Thorgal to revenge, which she has sworn towards Gandalf the Mad.
The Garden of Eden
Thorgal falls with his horse through a crevice in a gletscher with a magical valley below. It is inhabited by three sisters who tell them that time moves at a different pace there and that he's been there for a year already. Not deterred he tries to find a way out.
