A young woman, Idunn, and a young man, Heimdar, make a perilous journey to initially help gather momentum for their religion, The Old Faith. Along the way, they are joined by others, including a minstrel, a young warrior who is testing her sexual boundaries, and a loyal wolf.
Their journey takes an unexpected detour when Idunn discovers her mother, previously thought dead, is alive.
Meanwhile, the kings in neighbouring lands decide to attack over the differences between The New Faith and The Old Faith. Yet, the subtext is clear; this is not only about religion but also about greed and power for one side and freedom of expression for the other.
