The army of the Fuoi Migior may have retreated, but it has not been defeated. As long as the Great King of the Mabnden remains captive and enchanted in the hands of the Fuoi Migior, the few free tribes of men will continue to remain divided and weak.

Thus, Koroum must embark on a second mission, more difficult than the first, traveling eastwards, into the heart of the unnatural winter, to the capital of the Frozen Empire, of the Cold Gods. A magical treasure and a friend from the past assist him in his quest, but Koroum knows that all his efforts are doomed without the Golden Oak and the Silver Ram.

Old and new enemies lurk, and danger takes a thousand forms, even those of old, trusted friends.
