Halfdan, adolescent de treize ans, apprend d'une manière inattendue qu'il est l'héritier d'une lignée de « héros » remontant à cinq mille ans. En effet, son ancêtre, Arymir, avait naguère été choisi afin de repousser telle une Jeanne d'Arc les armées des Ténèbres des royaumes en paix. Or, pour Halfdan, rien ne se passera comme prévu, car il devra avant tout se vaincre lui-même.
Avec cette fantaisie classique et émouvante, John Baker initie la série de L'héritier où tous les mystères du monde sont réunis et forment peut-être et après tout une utopie.
