Hanck Orn's son is dead.

When they come to the door, they tell him it was a heart attack, but he knows they are lying.

So Hanck travels to the outermost reaches of the land to find out what really happened. When he lands on the island he is met by a young woman, her hair streaked with blood, raving like a lunatic. She is one of the sisters, who tell him the story of how his son was working in the great hall of the Clan — the Norse gods — who were holding a party. But the festivities soon got out of hand, the guests began to argue with one another, and something terrible happened...

Set in a dystopian future, Klas Ostergren weaves a dizzying story of magnificent scope and foul play. Moving from the golden halls to the depths of the underworld, it is about one man's search for justice for his son in a world on the brink. A place where true love is so strong it can bring about the end of time.
