Winter is finally relaxing his grasp on the north – or so they say for Jalan, the weather is still too cold to do anything other than laying in bed, possibly with the wife of one man or another. The story opens six months after the events of the first book. That’s pretty much what I was expecting from the second book in the series as well, minus the travel what I got instead was a lot of travelling, and a bit less of what made the characters stand out so much to me. Even though the story itself is a classic quest, I still found the characters – especially the protagonist – to be interesting enough to follow them for hundreds of pages. I read the first book of this series in August and I really enjoyed it. Now in possession of Loki’s key, he only needs one more thing before he can bring back his wife and children: to find death’s door, and open it.īut their enemies have eyes on the key, and they won’t make his search easy. Prince Jalan Kendeth has spent the winter in the north, hiding from the cold – and from the husbands of his conquests, until the day comes when he is forced to leave and embarks in a new journey with Snorri, this time heading south – music to Jalan’s ears, already dreaming of home and all its comforts.īut comfort is the last thing on Snorri’s mind.
