Wolfcub is back home, but she's lost nothing of her wild habits and stubbornness, and conflicts with the other villagers are increasingly common. She also refuses to believe that Thorgal is dead, where Aaricia appears to have accepted it and is now sharing Lundgren's bed. When the little girl, disgusted by her mother's behaviour, eventually runs away, she's quickly followed by Lundgren's men... but also by a mysterious and frightening woman...
