Guerdom, listening to Lugvinn the Guardian, discovered what was at stake in the future conflicts between Nemeton and Drucht: the Blödryall. Neither planet was able to succeed in its aims of possession since a stranger had stolen it from them and escaped to sink without trace in some forgotten corner of space, with Princess Brighee after him.

Avidïa tells how the stranger and the Blödryall arrive on Earth, in the savage and hostile era of prehistory, then how men (and especially women) from that time on make it theirs or get rid of it.

Avidïa also tells us how Princess Brighee, eternally in pursuit of the Blödryall, gets stranded in the Middle Ages and how she puts her life in danger to save, recover and bring back the Blödryall to Nemeton.

Guerdom had to know nothing of this to be able to decide whether he should become the new Guardian, because since the beginning he has been faced with not just one but two Blödryalls.

Translating our mythology into science fiction epic is an ambitious undertaking; even when the characters are in close-up, the lyricism of Avïdia is totally enthralling.
