Die Edda ist das alte Sagenbuch der Germanen. In ihr sind die, Jahrhunderte über nur mündlich weitergegebenen Geschichten der alten nordischen Götter bewahrt. Vom Allvater Odin, vom mächtigen Donnergott Thor und vom heimtückischen Loki. Von Riesen und Ungeheuern, wie dem gewaltigen Fenriswolf und der Midgardschlange. Von der Entstehung der Welt und vom Tag der Götterdämmerung.

Espulso dalla Polonia con la famiglia in seguito agli accordi di Posdam (1945) e alla ridefinizione dei confini della Germania, Bernard Haber arriva nella cittadina di Guldenberg, in Germania Est, quando ha dieci anni. Benché nominalmente sia ormai socialista, la città accoglie Bernard con lo stesso feroce disprezzo e razzismo che la Germania nazista riservava a moltissimi: sì, gli espulsi che ora arrivano in massa sono tedeschi, ma poveri e presumibilmente pigri e profittatori. Cosa fa allora Bernard?

Hraban the Marcomanni has never met his father Maroboodus, exiled in far-away Rome, but this is about to change. In the age of early Roman Empire, Augustus is creating his legacy with gladius as the legions begin the arduous work of subjecting the troublesome and divided Germani tribes. Such great, distant issues do not concern Hraban, a young man bent on becoming a spear lord, giver of rings, a warrior praised in the dark halls of his kin. He is the Raven, and son of great lords.

Hraban the Marcomanni has been cast out of his tribe by his treacherous father Maroboodus. He has lost his tribe, his mother and both grandfathers, and his fame and honor with the ones he loved. He has been lied to, he has been used to further his father's plots and in the end discarded, and his lot was to linger in slavery to Odo, a priest to Lok until he would die, having fulfilled the needs of a deadly prophecy.

I soldati del 27esimo Reggimento Panzer sono costretti a ripiegare. Devono compiere una terribile ritirata dopo la pioggia di bombe alleate sulle città tedesche. I cingoli dei carri armati solcano la steppa russa nella gelida morsa dell’inverno in una marcia della morte, che sembra non avere fine. Le strade si riempiono di migliaia di profughi. I caccia russi sono tritacarne che sfrecciano a bassa quota e trasformano con il loro sibilo il flusso dei rifugiati in un macabro grido rivolto al cielo.

Hraban's dice are cast. He has chosen to serve Nero Claudius Drusus, the mighty Roman general and the stepson of the princeps of Rome, Augustus. He has abandoned his hope of ever finding fame and home with the Marcomanni and has turned his back on Armin the Cherusci, who offered him a place amongst the foes of Rome and Maroboodus, Hraban's traitorous father. Yet, the fate of Drusus is not to idle in Gaul, but to take the war to Armin and the Cherusci, and Hraban follows him to war, serving the great lord in his drive to slay Armin.

Hraban is riding for Rome. Having lost Drusus to the schemes of a highborn noble in Rome, Hraban and his friends follow Tiberius, and join the Germani Corporis Custodes, the illustrious Germani guard of Augustus. Their mission is not only to guard the lives of the family of the Princeps, but also to uncover who is trying to kill the sons and grandchildren of Livia, wife of Augustus. Drusus is already dead. Will Tiberius be next? Is Julia, the daughter of Augustus to blame, as everyone believes?

During the era of Augustus, there is a wild, untamed land far in the north, where no Roman sandal has yet trodden, and there Maroboodus, the son and adeling of a Goth lord Hulderic, simmers with rage over the many injustices their family has to endure.

A young Chatti by the name of Adalwulf rides his stolen horse to the lands of the Marcomanni, hoping to find a ring-giver and a new life. What he finds instead is a mysterious priestess looking for him, his innate ability to fight like a demi-god, and plenty of trouble. In the era of Augustus, the borders of River Rhenus are waiting for a change. While the Marcomanni have an uneasy peace with Rome, Rome is turning its eye to the north. The feuds of two Goth lords, Bero and Hulderic, thrust Adalwulf in a desperate quest that will determine his future.

Chi è lui? Chi lo ha generato davvero? Suo padre Alois Hitler, funzionario di dogana austriaco, se lo chiederà sempre. E senza risposta, perché nemmeno sul letto di morte la madre gli svelerà il segreto della sua nascita di illegittimo. E lo stesso ci chiediamo noi di Adolf Hitler: chi è? Chi lo ha generato? Da dove viene il lupo Fenrir che, nelle mitologie nordiche, a un certo punto del Tempo spezzerà la catena per irrompere schiumando di rabbia e annunciare la fine del mondo?
