Synopsis

A menacing, prowling figure haunts the lands of the Ice People, leaving strange footprints that lead the farm folk to believe Satan himself walks among them. Three of the family's descendants, Dominic, Villemo, and Nicklas, must confront the creature, and the trail suggests it may be tied to a descendant of the evil Tengel, deepening the family's ancient curse.

Notes

• From the series record (The Legend of the Ice People): The original 47-volume saga (1982-1989) following the cursed Ice People clan across generations of Scandinavian history, marked by inherited supernatural gifts, a medallion-bound curse, and (in its later volumes) an underground kingdom where time itself runs differently. Two later continuations exist (a further ~35 volumes across two more parts, published years afterward) and are not yet catalogued here pending closer genre review.
