Lily has no understanding why their elderly seer has sent her on a quest north. There is nothing up there but frozen and barren wasteland. There was nothing south but the creatures that savagely extinguished any sign of human life, the creatures constantly trying to reach them in their never-ending hunger, but yet unable to travel into the wintery landscape where her village is forced to make their home out of necessity.

But north she must go through endless valleys of snow and ice, toward the questionable destiny Mad Hilda had foreseen, to beseech the help from a god frozen in ice since the devastation of Ragnarok. However, resurrecting a god may prove more dangerous than dealing with the creatures Lily seeks to destroy.
