The series was favorably received by the readers, compared to The Witcher, and won major prizes in Polish science fiction: Janusz A. Zajdel, Nautilus and the Sphinx Award [pl].

The protagonist, Vuko Drakkainen, a special-forces soldier, equipped with the latest technology from Earth, making him almost a superhuman (effectively, a supersoldier), is dispatched to a planet called Midgaard, to look for human scientists from a covert research facility with whom all contact was lost two years earlier.

At the same time, the ancient faith in the Underground Mother is returning in the empire, and temples are being built in the cities – Red Towers.

It turns out that half of the human scientists have died, while the remaining four found themselves in a new situation, becoming Doers – people who could magically shape reality around them.

Eventually, the two main characters, Vuko and Filar, find each other in the Ice Garden and form an alliance to save the world.
