Thorgal’s family is once again reunited, but the future is bleak. The hero is unconscious, dying, and his wife and children are exhausted and starving. Aaricia’s prayers bring her some hope: the goddess Frigg is willing to save Thorgal … But her husband Odin is determined to get rid of the troublesome Child of the Stars once and for all. So begins one last challenge for Thorgal and his son Jolan – a final chance to obtain what they’ve always dreamed off: a quiet, uneventful life …

Jolan has agreed to leave his family and serve Manthor, after he saved Thorgal’s life. The mysterious mage has promised him an exceptional destiny – if, that is, the young man proves worthy of it. So begins a series of trials during which Jolan, on his own at first, will meet four other youngsters. They, too, have unusual powers. They, too, are on their way to Manthor’s castle. Will they be allies, or enemies?

Jolan and his new companions have arrived safely in Manthor’s home. However, harmony isn’t the word yet, and the instructions from their new master don’t help: their next task can only be accomplished if all five of them work together to open a magical gate, but once they’re past that obstacle, only one of them can become the Chosen one – and that by stealing no less than Thor’s own shield! Can any of them even do it on their own?

Jolan, having triumphed in the trials set by his new master Manthor, is now the Chosen One. At last his true mission is revealed: no less than storming Asgard in order to restore the immortality of Manthor’s mother, a goddess who was cast out! While he leads his army of rag dolls to the realm of the gods, Thorgal follows the trail of the Red Mages who kidnapped his other son, Aniel, the child he had with Kriss of Valnor.

While Jolan and his companions finally learn from Manthor what their grand destiny will be, Thorgal is still on the trail of the men who kidnapped his other son, Aniel. Along with jolly mercenary Petrov, he sails down a frozen river aboard a Blade Ship – a trade vessel equipped with heavy metal blades to break the ice. The journey is fraught with dangers – storms, raiders, spies, wild animals … and a group of shipwrecked Vikings looking for a mysterious chest …

After the icy North, Thorgal and his companions now face the oppressive heat of the Middle East. On the road to Bag Dadh, the reluctant hero has got dangerously close to the bewitching Saluma, who tells him the story of the Red Mages – the very same who kidnapped his son Aniel. It doesn’t take long for Thorgal to realise that he isn’t mixed up in a simple crime, but rather in political machinations that could determine the future of the entire, sprawling megalopolis!

Thorgal has failed. Despite all his efforts, he wasn’t in time to save his son Aniel, and was forced to look on as sorcery transformed the young, mute boy into a teenager with terrible powers – the reincarnation of the Master of Red Magic. The Viking, convinced there is still a chance, is still not ready to give up. But many threats are converging, from within the city and from afar, and the stakes may be much higher than he imagines …

Thorgal and his friends are finally on their way back to the lands of the Vikings of the North. Time is of the essence, for his son Aniel is still possessed by an evil entity, and is doing increasingly poorly. But the trip is fraught with danger, and soon they find themselves marooned on mysterious – though perhaps not entirely unknown – shores. Thorgal will have to fight without rest to give his son a future …

Thorgal is finally back home and his family reunited … but his past continues to haunt him. A young woman on a pilgrimage tries to kill him – or rather the pirate he once was, Shaigan the Merciless. He wounds her mortally while defending himself, and she demands from him the weirgild. A life for a life – he is to assassinate a Jarl who oppresses the member of the cult she belongs to. Once again, Thorgal sails off towards adventure …

Thorgal’s daughter Wolfcub wakes up inside a cage, in a fisherman’s hut, after being abducted. A strange-looking woman, a mute little girl, her pet lobster and a young boy terrified of his father – the kidnapper – are the only people there, and none of them are willing to free her. Meanwhile, Thorgal and Jolan are already on her trail, but to find her, they will have to brave the curse of the Selkie – the seal woman.

Thorgal, Jolan, Wolfcub and the two children they rescued from the Selkie are sailing home when they come across a drifting ship. The crew is dead, but a strange, obviously magical creature appears suddenly and attacks. That is merely the first in a series of bizarre events that will force Thorgal to return to a place with strong ties to his own past, as much to protect his family as to prevent terrible weapons from falling into the wrong hands …

Thorgal had a chance to destroy the Atlantean spaceship and its weapons, but couldn’t bring himself to do it, as it also meant sacrificing Jolan. His aborted attempts, however, activated Neokora, the onboard artificial intelligence. First contact was immediately hostile, and the two Vikings soon had to flee both the machine … along with the last survivors of the crew, long thought dead but now awakening. Including Slive the Sorceress, who was once Thorgal’s ally, then his enemy …
