Sailing to their lands from Qâ country, Thorgal, Aaricia and Jolan find themselves caught in the middle of the conflict between the Water People and the Forest People. Their respective deities are now unleashed, and nothing will be able to hinder the chaos of war. Except, perhaps, an arrow carved from the Tree of Life, shot at the fearsome Wendigo. To save Aaricia, pregnant and injured, Thorgal has no choice but to take sides and compromise himself once again in the madness of men.
