Thorgal’s daughter Wolfcub wakes up inside a cage, in a fisherman’s hut, after being abducted. A strange-looking woman, a mute little girl, her pet lobster and a young boy terrified of his father – the kidnapper – are the only people there, and none of them are willing to free her. Meanwhile, Thorgal and Jolan are already on her trail, but to find her, they will have to brave the curse of the Selkie – the seal woman.

Thorgal is finally back home and his family reunited … but his past continues to haunt him. A young woman on a pilgrimage tries to kill him – or rather the pirate he once was, Shaigan the Merciless. He wounds her mortally while defending himself, and she demands from him the weirgild. A life for a life – he is to assassinate a Jarl who oppresses the member of the cult she belongs to. Once again, Thorgal sails off towards adventure …

Thorgal had a chance to destroy the Atlantean spaceship and its weapons, but couldn’t bring himself to do it, as it also meant sacrificing Jolan. His aborted attempts, however, activated Neokora, the onboard artificial intelligence. First contact was immediately hostile, and the two Vikings soon had to flee both the machine … along with the last survivors of the crew, long thought dead but now awakening. Including Slive the Sorceress, who was once Thorgal’s ally, then his enemy …

Thorgal, Jolan, Wolfcub and the two children they rescued from the Selkie are sailing home when they come across a drifting ship. The crew is dead, but a strange, obviously magical creature appears suddenly and attacks. That is merely the first in a series of bizarre events that will force Thorgal to return to a place with strong ties to his own past, as much to protect his family as to prevent terrible weapons from falling into the wrong hands …

Thorgal and his friends are finally on their way back to the lands of the Vikings of the North. Time is of the essence, for his son Aniel is still possessed by an evil entity, and is doing increasingly poorly. But the trip is fraught with danger, and soon they find themselves marooned on mysterious – though perhaps not entirely unknown – shores. Thorgal will have to fight without rest to give his son a future …

One boy, one boat, one tiger . . .After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan – and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and best-loved works of fiction in recent years.

Life of Pi is a masterful and utterly original novel that is at once the story of a young castaway who faces immeasurable hardships on the high seas, and a meditation on religion, faith, art and life that is as witty as it is profound. Using the threads of all of our best stories, Yann Martel has woven a glorious spiritual adventure that makes us question what it means to be alive, and to believe.

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.
