Three lands, peopled by humans and immortals. In Corinthium a decadent endlessly-lived elite run the world for profit and power

But when a poor, honest solider dies, and is reborn, everything changes.

In wintry Midgarth, where immortals are revered as deities, one of them has realized that something - or someone - is killing the gods.

And in Ometepe there is only one immortal, for he has murdered every other

Until one woman gives birth to a very special baby.

Yet there is a fourth, hidden land, where savage tribes have united under the prophecy of ''the One'': a child who is neither boy nor girl. Now they plan to conquer the world.

Unless a broken soldier, a desperate mother and a crippled god can stop them . .
