Synopsis

As Karl XII sets out to conquer Russia, Vendel Grip of the Ice People has the misfortune of ending up in a prison camp in Siberia. Through determination he manages to escape captivity, and fate later leads him to the Kara Sea, where he encounters a distant branch of the Ice People he never knew existed.

Where it sits

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.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.
