The brand of the exiles

Thorgal has been gone for three years. Now, the last raiding expedition organised by the men of his village is late in returning.

When a single survivor stumbles in to announce that their drakkar was boarded by the dreaded Shaigan, he also reveals that Shaigan is actually...Thorgal!

Outraged, the grieving, vengeful Viking women banish Aaricia and her children and brand her an exile.

All that's left for them is to try to find Thorgal again.
