"Once upon a time, many hundred years ago, Tengel the Evil walked out into the wasteland to sell his soul to Satan.
He became the first ancestor of the Ice People.
Tengel was promised power and riches and in exchange one of his descendants in every generation would serve the Devil and commit evil acts. Their mark would be the cat-yellow eyes and they would have magic powers. And some day a person with the greatest supernatural powers ever seen would be born.
The curse would not be lifted until the place where Tengel had buried the kettle, in which he had prepared the witches' brew that summoned the Devil, was found.
That is what the legend says.
Nobody knows if it is true.
But in the 16th century a cursed child of the Ice People was born. He tried to turn evil to good and so he was called Tengel the Good. This saga is about his family.
Or maybe it is most of all about the women of his family."

This is, more or less, the summary that is written in the beginning of each book.

All the presentations are written in English, but here you can pick a language for a list of the titles.

I think that there might be a couple of more translations. Please contact me if you know anything about it.
