Han pasado veinte años desde que el reino de las Tierras de Hielo rechazó el ataque del ejército imperial polipontano gracias a la valentía de sus súbditos y la inestimable ayuda de los pueblos vecinos: los vampiros, los hombres lobo y los legendarios leopardos gigantes. Ahora, el temido general Escipión Bellorum ha vuelto y prepara una mortífera invasión, esta vez acompañado de sus dos hijos, tan astutos y crueles como él. Así pues, el destino del pequeño reino nórdico está en manos de la reina Thirrin y el brujo Oskan, así como de sus cinco jóvenes sucesores.
