The plot revolves around three young mortals who end up drawn into the struggles between the immortals. Karin is a princess who is held hostage at a foreign court; Valmar is son of the king who holds her hostage; and Roric No-man's son is a warrior at the court who seeks to know his father's true identity--and loves Karin, even though she is far too high-born for a fatherless man. The three have always assumed that earth and sky are ruled by the Wanderers, the immortal lords of voima, but an end is fated for even the immortals, an end they are desperately trying to avoid, because the passing of their power may also mean the earth's destruction.
(The term "voima" is from the Finnish, meaning "power." The setting is based directly on medieval Scandinavia.)
