Beschreibung

The village of Jespodar nestles in the foothills of a world-dominating mountain known to all as "The Wall." Poilar Crookleg has grown up in Jespodar training hard and hoping that he will be chosen for the annual Pilgrimage, a group journey to the top of the mountain from which no pilgrim has ever returned both alive and sane. The pilgrims seek to replicate the legendary journey of a distant ancestor who scaled the mountain and, so the story goes, met with the gods. The Pilgrimage is a a life journey, an overwhelming challenge and a sacred honor and Poilar feels blessed when he is finally chosen to lead it.But not all is as it first seems. Along the journey lie hazards of all kinds, both vilently dangerous and seductively beguiling and to triumph in the climb is to confront a revelation so surprising and so disturbing that none, not even the smartest and best prepared, are likely to survive. What belief and what devotion leads so many to hope for such a challenging task and what will be the ultimate result of such dedication? Only The Wall itself can reveal the destiny for those who undertake the Pilgrimage.

Hunwulf’s life was marked by a ceaseless southward migration and the brutal realities of primitive existence. His intense love for Gudrun, a woman of unparalleled beauty, drives the narrative. 
    In their journey, Hunwulf and Gudrun face numerous perils, including hostile tribes, natural disasters, and terrifying creatures. After fleeing from their tribe due to Hunwulf’s murder of Gudrun’s betrothed, they find themselves in a village of brown-skinned people, where they learn of a menacing presence in the south. 
    Tragedy strikes when Gudrun is snatched away by a winged, ebony-skinned being, prompting Hunwulf to embark on a perilous rescue mission. Guided by a primitive map, he ventures into a valley dominated by a mysterious green tower and surrounded by a garden of eerie, blood-red flowers with a sinister life of their own...
