Synopsis
Three travellers set out to destroy a vast Serpent that threatens to wipe out the Earth: a gentle messenger from a peaceful, legendary land, a feared former military commander, and a woman burdened by past pain. Their road leads north to the frozen wastes where the creature has its lair. The enemy they face cannot simply be killed, and each of the three must confront the wounds they carry before they can work together against it.
