Otzi the Iceman

Journey back five thousand years ago, with famed mummy Otzi the Iceman, except this Otzi is flesh and blood. Otzi and his companions have been invited to a Kuala, a gift-giving ceremony in honor of the gods. Only this year, there's more afoot than a ritualistic gift-giving ceremony. An empire is on the rise, crushing everything in its wake, as it seeks to secure access to one of the world's most valuable commodities: salt. Unfortunately for Chieftain Otzi and his people, their homes lies directly in the path of the growing empire, which is headed by the wily Lord Trilock. Soon Otzi and his companions are in a race, not just for their lives, but the lives of everyone they have ever known. Pitted against a foe with vastly superior resources and no scruples, their only hope lies with Perchta, their beloved moon goddess.
