A jégben edzett férfi

2013

Blaine „Mick” McFadden, akit azért ítéltek el, mert megölte azt a férfit, aki meggyalázta a húgát, az elmúlt hat évét Velantban töltötte, a száműzöttek kolóniájában, a Peremvidék fagyos, északi pusztaságában. Ezen a helyen a szigorú katonai fegyelem és a zsarnoki célokra felhasznált mágia segítségével sikerül fenntartani a törékeny békét, a zord körülmények között a túlélésért harcoló telepesek körében. De egyszer csak nem jön több ellátóhajó Donderathból, ami rosszat sejtet az elítélteket ideküldő birodalom sorsáról. Most McFaddennek és Velant népének a saját kezébe kell vennie a sorsát. Ott is maradhatnak jeges börtönükben, távol a világ többi részén végbement pusztítástól, az éppen csak élhető körülmények között, vagy vissza is térhetnek annak az országnak a romjai közé, amelyet egykor a hazájuknak neveztek. Mindkét esetben nehéz feladatok állnak előttük…
