Synopsis
The fourth and final volume of Pan Lodowego Ogrodu opens with the two long-running threads of the series, Vuko Drakkainen's investigation on the magic-touched planet Midgaard and Filar's fight to survive the collapse of his empire, having just converged at the close of the previous book. With Drakkainen and Filar's paths now joined, the story moves toward drawing together the wider mysteries the series has built around Midgaard's magic, the fate of the missing Earth scientists, and the strange region known as the Ice Garden, as the two protagonists face the consequences of everything set in motion across the earlier volumes.

Notes
- From the series record (Pan Lodowego Ogrodu): A Polish special-forces operative is sent to a planet where an earlier human expedition went missing; the world's own people practice real magic, and survivors of the earlier expedition have themselves become powerful magic-workers pursuing rival visions of a new order. Genre-boundary note: critical and encyclopedic consensus (the SF Encyclopedia) treats this as a science-fantasy hybrid -- a science-fiction first-contact frame around a setting where magic genuinely operates as the central plot engine -- the same kind of borderline case this project has already admitted elsewhere (Pern) rather than excluded.
