Urd of the past and Verdandi of the present. Ivor and Borg need her return so they can continue to spin the threads of life and decide the fate of all human beings.

Accused of being a witch and a demon, Astrid spirits the boys into the future. They don''t find what they expect and they don''t like what they find.
