Thorgal is a total hero. Courageous and weak sometimes, fierce and in love, indomitable Viking but sensitive, human but sent gods, warrior and pacifist. Halfway between history and fantastic, Van Hamme's imagination and Rosinski's talent have given birth to a true saga, a model of the heroic genre. Here Thorgal lets himself go to the softness of things, in a calm host tribe where his wife must bring their child to life. But war, again, destroys this happiness. It is in fact the second beginning of the series, since Aaricia will disappear there and Thorgal, becomes the intrepid warrior he was, return to his mythical destiny.
