| In this first part of the epic fantasy adventure The Saga of Beowulf we follow the young Norse warrior Beowulf as he embarks upon a fateful quest for vengeance against the creature that slew his father, setting in motion a sequence of events that will take him from the fetid fens of Denmark to the frozen fields of Swede-Land as he battles men and demons in a quest to conquer his own fears, all the while fleeing from the woman he has sworn to love. "Part I: The Land of Death & Shadow" takes us from the daring fight with Grendel to the battle with the Troll-Hag witch that spawned that demon brood. In the hall of Hrothgar we meet the proud but fallen clan of Danes, and await with Beowulf the hidden terrors lurking in the shadows of the night. Steeped in Nordic myth and lore and set amidst the harsh and rugged northern shores of dark age Dane-Land, The Saga of Beowulf is "a bold new retelling" of the epic 10th century Old English poem Beowulf, the first epic to be written in the English language. |
| The Saga continues as the Nordic hero Beowulf returns home from his epic adventures in Dane-land, only to be horrified at what he finds. Having fled a nation fraught with feuds and turmoil, he now faces a land devoured by war. Clans will rise and kings will fall as history is carved in blood upon the cold hard barren lands of northern shores, ranging from the rocky heights of Geatland to the sprawling battlefields of ancient France. "Part II: The Land of Ice & Fire" takes Beowulf on Viking raids and expeditions to foreign shores where history unfolds before our eyes, revealing the first beginnings of the Frankish nation, internecine struggles for might and title, and the tragic fall of one clan as another rises to devour it. He has overcome horrendous Ogres, defeated hideous Witch Hags, and toppled monstrous Stone Trolls. But now he must confront the hardest battle of his life. The adventure concludes in "Part II: The Land of Ice & Fire." |
