Beschreibung

<p><b>'A heroine with a generous spirit, an unshakable will and a dragon's fury.' H. M. Long</b><br><br>Having grown up hearing tales of her uncle, the great King Beowulf, Fryda's one desire is to become a shield maiden in her own right. Yet a terrible childhood accident has left Fryda disabled - thus, she believes, thwarting her dream of becoming a warrior-woman for good. But still, somehow, she feels an uncontrollable power begin to rise within herself.<br><br>Meanwhile, a great celebration of Beowulf's reign is underway, and Fryda's house is soon overrun with foreign kings and chieftains. Amidst the drunken revelry, a discovery is made that threatens the safety of Fryda's entire clan - and her own life. Enraged, Fryda resolves to fight for her people, no matter the cost... and all the while, her powers seem only to grow stronger.<br><br>But she is not the only one to feel its effects. For, buried deep in her gilded lair, a dragon is drawn to Fryda's untamed power, and is slowly awakening from a long, cursed sleep...<br><br><b>'Casts a superb spell... Shimmering with detail, with a propulsive plot to match.' D.K. Fields</b><br><br><b>'Fantastic fun... An entrancing story of power and peril, presenting a side to the sagas we have never seen before.' Ian Green</b></p>
