When it was new in 1923 it caused a sensation for its beauty and its speed, and the engine found itself at the center of media attention that continued throughout the decade and made it a household name - to see it was the ambition of every young trainspotter.

Ty nejlepší ságy jsou napsané krví. Uplynulo celé století od doby, kdy spolu bohové bojovali a navzájem se vyhubili. Zůstaly pouze jejich kosti, slibující velkou moc těm, kdo jsou dost stateční na to, aby se je vydali hledat. Vigrídem se šíří zvěsti o válce a osud následuje kroky tří bojovníků: lovkyně na nebezpečné výpravě, urozené ženy toužící po válečnické slávě a otroka, který usiluje o pomstu mezi žoldnéři známými jako Krvopřísežní. Všichni tři budou utvářet osud světa, když na něj opět padne stín bohů. Stín bohů zahajuje...
