Thorgal is now safe and sound, and the time has come for his son to fulfill his dues. In exchange for his father's life, Jolan promised his own to the mysterious Manthor, a half-god of Red Magic. After arriving in the Entremonde, the young man is promised a destiny at the height of his lineage. But, to deserve Manthor's teaching, he will have to triumph over the path of trials! The rule is clear: only two feet will be able to tread the Threshold of Initiation. Not ten or eight or six or four. Not one. Only two. Indeed, the title of Elected attracts a few other contenders. So many promises of a great series of rhythmic and epic initiation. Thorgal can enjoy a little rest, his son is in good hands!
