La Sentence des Walkyries 02

Kriss is still the hostage of the Valkyries and their queen, Freyja. She will decide whether the prisoner deserves the fate of the valiant warriors who died in battle, that is to say the right to eternal life, or if she will forever wander the icy mists of Niflheim...

This is her only chance to benefit from a form of clemency... Kriss therefore continues the story begun in volume 1. How did she grow up until her adolescence and entry into the adult world? How did she end up dealing with the Caledonian worshippers of the goddess Kerridwen (see the album The Archers)? Why did she steal the mysterious Stone of Blood from them (see The Archers, again) just before meeting Thorgal and finding Pied d'Arbre? All the answers to these questions are given at the end of this album. As well as Freyja's sentence! Kriss's return to the world of men does not look simple...
