When a Hag, an orphan boy and a troll called Ulf get sent to rescue a princess from an ogre, they expect it to be a fairly standard magical mission. But the ogre is depressed, the princess doesn't want to be rescued and the ogre's dead wife is turning in her grave. The Norns who rule their fates decide to take things in hand will the Ogre meet a bloody end, or will he get a happy ending?
