Swept away by the raging waters of the Raheborg along with Magnus’s armies, Kriss survived. Found and cared for by an herbalist and his apprentice, the queen must now hurry back across the lake-ocean to appear before our king – or the law of the Vikings will strip her of her crown and her hopes of one day using her power to rescue Aniel. But the lake-ocean is difficult to navigate, and before long Kriss finds herself marooned on a decidedly strange island …

Thorgal, a young skald living a tenuous existence within a Viking tribe, has given his word to save the Minkelsönn sisters, who have been cursed to live as whales. The village is starving, though, and Thorgal has very little time to save the sisters' souls before they kill the whales for their meat. He sets off on an adventure to beg the gods for their help. But Freyja, Odin, Ænir, and the rest of the Norse gods are not so easily bargained with. Thorgal will have to use all of his cunning,...

It's been a long, cold winter, and the Vikings are suffering major food shortages. Many of the men have left on a long voyage. In their absence, Björn, son of the village chief, Gandalf-the-mad, has been left in charge. Which is not good news for Thorgal, a young skald of mysterious origins, marginalized by the Viking tribe. Lucky for him, he has the beautiful Aaricia to look out for him. When Thorgal's singing attracts three whales into the bay, the villagers hope they might finally be ab...

Young Thorgal is no closer to finding peace and calm, and neither are those close to him. Aaricia's companions are about to be tortured by her own brother, and she finds no help in Thorgal, who is off on a desperate search for Hierulf. The wise man narrowly escaped death on the Sacrificial Rock, but hasn't been seen since... Is he even still alive? Meanwhile, Gandalf-the-Mad is keeping a beautiful woman prisoner in a windbeaten tower. But this fiery-haired queen may have more to her than m...

After years of torment, the Queen of the Frozen Seas has finally escaped the clutches of Gandalf-the-Mad... and it appears that she knows something of Thorgal's origins. In order to find him, though, she'll have to survive in an unfamiliar world that seems bent on revenge. Could Slivia be the last of her kind? Plus, Thorgal is desperately searching for the love of his life, lost at sea in a storm. He prays to all the gods and goddesses that, against all hope, Aaricia is somehow alive...

In the next chapter of Thorgal's early years, Aaricia has been captured. It's up to the young hero to save his beloved from the savage berserkers—unless one of his rivals gets there first. There's Sigurd, the handsome drakkar captain speeding across the waves in pursuit of the berserkers, and Nigürd, the jarl's squirrel-toothed son, who might have more up his sleeve than meets the eye... They'll have to work together to survive the stormy sea and have any hope of rescuing Aaricia before th...

In the next chapter of the saga of the skald's early years, Thorgal is in love! He and Aaricia are talking of marriage, of running away, of a future together. But Aaricia's father, Gandalf-the-Mad, has other plans. A dozen handsome, strong, and mostly intelligent suitors have shown up to the summer festival of Sigrblót to fight for her hand in marriage. But there is another mysterious guest on hand for the festival: Runa, a shieldmaiden, who comes bearing a kingly gift for the village lord...

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 …

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 …

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!

Stuck in the world of the mysterious Assalepson, Wolfcub has agreed to let the sorcerer extract her wild side. What she didn’t know was the he would use that wild side – a physical double of the little girl, filled with all her strength and aggressiveness – to attempt to retrieve a powerful relic … from the realm of Fenrir the giant wolf! Meanwhile, back at the village, Aaricia must continue to deal with the villagers’ hostility … and handsome Lundgren’s insistent seduction attempts.

Wolfcub is the daughter of Thorgal, the child of the stars. A collateral victim of the whims of gods and fate all her life, the child who talks to animals will come to have her own adventures in the magic-filled world of Vikings. First volume out of seven.
