Thorgal has therefore decided to go alone to try to get forgotten by the gods, in order to protect his family from the danger they are facing in his presence. He has barely set foot in a farm that he is captured by the men of the local tyrant, Orgoff, the invincible, who terrorizes the country. Of course Thorgal manages to escape and ends up falling on a group of rebels led by... Kriss de Valnor allegedly dead at the end of "Between Earth and Light". Again our hero will find himself in a rock-like story.
