After a season of hockey fame, political intrigue, and romantic complications, Sherm Reinhardt is finally settling down. He’s happily married, loves his kids, and captains Borschland’s most storied ice hockey team. When a homeless man claiming to be the Borschic “Saint of Light” Willem van Noos appears, asking Sherm to protect Borschland’s most sacred Flowering Branch, Sherm is more than skeptical. But as swiftly as the Branch blooms after 300 years of dormancy, Sherm’s trouble sprout, too: his sister is arrested for treason, he is booted off the team, and a Shadow Saint shows up, this time offering Sherm and his family eternal youth if they drink a tea brewed from the Branch’s flowers. Willem assures Sherm that if he follows the Shadow Saints, a cataclysmic war will ensue. But who can pass up the chance for immortality?
