Kriss is still the hostage of the Walkyries and Freya, their "queen". Before deciding whether Kriss deserves the fate of the brave warriors who died in battle (the Odin Palace and eternal life) or whether she deserves to go to burn forever in the flames of Niflheim, Freya wants to hear, from Kriss' mouth, the end of the story of her life until she meets Thorgal (she already knows the sequel... who pleads little in favour of Kriss). This is her only chance to benefit from a form of leniency... Kriss therefore continues the story begun in Volume 1. How did she grow up until her teens and her entry into the adult world? How did she find herself caught up with the Caledonians worshippers of the goddess Kerridwen (see the album Les Archers)? Why did she steal the mysterious Stone of Sang (see The Archers, always) just before meeting Thorgal and finding Pied d'Arbre? All the answers to these simple questions are given to the end of the world of Kri's.
