The Fell Mists that have long concealed the borders of Valhalla finally lift, revealing other Mythlands beyond. Sigurd Dragonsbane sees new territories where he and his warrior brothers can once again ride forth to help those who need them. Balduur, Honir, and Heimdall share his excitement at this prospect. From distant Persia, Princess Tahmina reaches out through psychic projection. Dragons hold her captive, and she pleads for rescue from the warriors of Valhalla. Sigurd and his companions set out across unfamiliar peaks and waters, driven by their code to protect the innocent. Their journey takes them through hostile territory where witches practice dark magic, massive creatures block their path, and fiery she-demons attack without warning. Each obstacle tests their resolve to reach the imprisoned princess. This tale brings back one of Jack Kirby's celebrated characters in a story that combines Norse mythology with Persian legend, pitting legendary heroes against mythical dangers.
