But with the evil curse of the Ice People surfacing once a generation, who can be trusted with the unrivalled power their magical inheritance? Kolgrim is the rightful heir, but he has the blood of Tengel the Evil in him, so he could lose everything to his angelic younger brother. The battle of good and evil rages on, and drags the Ice People into torment once more.
