It's 1899, and Jacques Moulin is joining an expedition funded by Newton Prescott. The goal is to be the first people to reach South Pole. Expedition on its own seems like a lucrative deal, but there is talk of ancient civilizations, myths and legends which in Jacques' head immediately means there will be even more money in the expedition. Are the legends of an ancient kingdom of Elok true? Is there more to South Pole than just ice? And will the truth about Jacques just being a lying thief be revealed to the rest of the team? Will they make it to the South Pole alive, and will they be able to leave?

In the land of Izër, the cold reigns supreme. Almost nothing lives on the surface, with the exception of the Shadows -beings whose origins no one knows, but who roam about, absorbing all forms of life on earth. Sheltered beneath the ice mountain, a royal city prospers, safe from the cold, while outside, shadows slither, absorbing the soul of any who dare cross their path. This city was built by the Founding Fathers, now called the Sleepers, who wait in a state of perpetual slumber for the day of their awakening to fight the prophecy of the human shadow. In this city, the Tristan dynasty rules and shares power, having governed for over two hundred years alongside the four other families. They eliminate claimants to the throne under the guise of a false prophecy, claiming that the wall demands the blood of a royal family member every ten years. This ritual often takes place shortly before the king's death or during the formation of the Royal Assembly, to remove any obstacles, instilling fear among the families coveting power and fostering trust among the people, who see them as benevolent beings sacrificing themselves for the city's well-being. With the help of the High Priest, the king and his family rule unquestionably over the nobility, until one day, a man appears at the gates of the ice mountain, creating confusion and widespread disbelief. Darius, a young man from beyond the wall... How did he survive the Shadows? And where did he come from? So many questions surround the stranger, yet he hides a terrible secret.
