Spoilers ahead

From their citadel Icepeak, the ruthless queen Juliana and her son Nekron unleash a relentless wave of glaciers that forces humanity to retreat south toward the equator. What begins as a calculated diplomatic gesture—Nekron sends a delegation to Firekeep, the volcanic fortress of King Jarol—soon reveals a deeper, colder plan: to abduct Jarol’s beautiful daughter, Princess Teegra, and press her into marriage as a claim to the throne and a weapon to secure Nekron’s ascent.
