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? Nie wspominając nawet o tej dziwnej kobiecie, która pojawia się tuż przed jego przybyciem.

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.

This time though, trouble was already here.

Mi vida se resume en infancia turbia, destrucción y muerte. Nací y fui criado para ser heredero de la bratva. Deserté de esta buscando venganza; en cambio encontré una familia. Y también dolor. Bess Miller fue la causante de ello. Ella era mi castigo. Ella, lo intocable, el puto cielo, pelo rojo como el fuego del Hades. No debía poner mis ojos ni manos en su cuerpo. Era la sangre de mi hermano, el vicepresidente de mi club.
