Pułkownik Ridge Zirkander nie jest co prawda wzorem wojskowego profesjonalizmu, ale jako najlepszy pilot armii iskandyjskiej, cieszy się pewną pobłażliwością ze strony przełożonych. A przynajmniej dopóki nie zada ciosu w nos niewłaściwemu dyplomacie, wskutek czego otrzymuje nowe rozkazy: oto teraz ma objąć dowództwo nad odludnym więzieniem w górach Lodowych Ostrzy. Nie dowodząc nigdy niczym większym od eskadry smoczych skrzydłolotów, co zrobi w forcie pełnym gwałcicieli i morderców?

Le colonel Ridge Zirkander est loin d'être un officier modèle mais étant le meilleur pilote de chasse de l'armée iskandienne, il jouit d'une certaine indulgence de la part de ses supérieurs. Jusqu'au jour où il casse le nez du mauvais diplomate, ce qui lui vaut de recevoir une nouvelle affectation : le commandement d'un bagne minier dans les montagnes inhospitalières des Lames de Glace. Une forteresse enneigée où sont détenus des meurtriers et des violeurs. Sans même parler de cette femme étrange, apparue juste avant qu'il arrive à son poste.

Il colonnello Ridge Zirkander non è un modello di professionalità militare: ha la tendenza a esprimere esattamente quello che pensa e il suo curriculum ha abbastanza demeriti da tappezzare lo scafo di un dirigibile.

Tutto cambia, però, quando Ridge dà un pugno sul naso al diplomatico sbagliato e si ritrova con nuovi ordini: prendere il comando di una remota miniera-prigione tra le inospitali Montagne delle Lame di Ghiaccio.
