description: Every nine years on the winter solstice Prince Neskaya's people conduct a ritual called the Midvinterblot sacrificing nine horses nine bulls nine hogs and nine men in the hopes of the return of light and fertility. With crops failing for the third year in a row the sacrifice to win back the gods' favor is especially important. But the gods are demanding more than the usual tribute: they demand the life of the king's only son Neskaya.Lars Neskaya's best friend and secret lover is willing to fight for the life of the man he loves despite Neskaya's odd complacency. Lars has no choice but to seek supernatural aid to save him and he'll have to somehow convince Neskaya to fight beside him against the entire hungry village if they are to have any chance to survive.
