Beyond the Gap is a fantasy novel by Harry Turtledove, published in February 2007.[1][2] It is the first book of the Opening of the World series.[3] The book centers on several citizens of the fictional Bronze Age Empire of Raumsdalia.[1] Raumsdalia is situated south of a great steppeland which is bordered on the north by a vast, seemingly unending glacier.

Plot summary

When a gap opens in the glacier, Count Hamnet Thyssen and Ulric Skakki are dispatched by Emperor Sighvat II of Raumsdalia to explore the other side. Together with Earl Eyvind Torfin and a wizard, Audun Gilli, they team up with Trasamund, a chieftain of the nomadic, mammoth-herding Bizogot nation. Crossing through the gap, the explorers discover that a powerful tribal confederation, who call themselves "the Rulers," are preparing to burst through the gap and seize the lands to the south for their own.
