Wolfcub is back home, but she’s lost nothing of her wild habits and stubbornness, and conflicts with the other villagers are increasingly common. She also refuses to believe that Thorgal is dead, where Aaricia appears to have accepted it and is now sharing Lundgren’s bed. When the little girl, disgusted by her mother’s behaviour, eventually runs away, she’s quickly followed by Lundgren’s men … but also by a mysterious and frightening woman …

Aaricia, convinced by Lundgren that her daughter is dead, is preparing to leave the village for good. Wolfcub is very much alive, though, and intends to remain so, despite being in great danger: Raissa, the leader of a wolf pack she thought she’d killed, is hunting her relentlessly, now in human form! The young girl will have to use every trick she knows to get away – and perhaps also count on the help of a handsome and mysterious man …

Ever the wilful rebel, Wolfcub has decided to go all the way to Bag Dahd to find her father Thorgal, when an old friend of the family suddenly pays her a visit: Tjahzi the Dwarf, whose people have just been enslaved by the Dark Elves. Behind this war between the denizens of the other worlds hides a very real threat to humans, for it’s the entire celestial order that Lolth, the queen of the Dark Elves, wants to overthrow by going after the sacred tree Yggdrasil …

Both halves of Wolfcub – her wild side, extracted by Assalepson, and her civilised side – are now in the Realm of Chaos, a land ruled by the monstrous wolf Fenrir, and they will have to cooperate to retrieve the severed hand of Tyr, return to their world, and be reunited into a single, whole person. Meanwhile, Aaricia, broken by the news of Thorgal’s death, is letting herself be seduced by the very man who arranged for that lie to reach her …

Wolfcub, Tjahzi and Yasmina have reached the In-between World where Nidhogg, guardian of Yggdrasil, was banished. The girl wants to convince the great serpent to resume his duties and protect the sacred tree from the Dark Elves’s onslaught. But Nidhogg may not be the most reliable of potential allies … The future of Asgard, and the Human world, rests on a little girl, her mother, and perhaps a bird- brained little god!
