Sagas And Myths Of The Northmen (penguin Epics)
Tags: Jesse L. Byock

In a land of ice, great warriors search for glory. When a dragon threatens the people of the north, only one man can destroy the fearsome beast. Elsewhere, a mighty leader gathers a court of champions, including a noble warrior under a terrible curse. The Earth's creation is described; tales of the gods and evil Frost Giants are related; and the dark days of Ragnarok foretold. This is a journey into a realm of legend, where heroes from an ancient age do battle with savage monsters, and every man must live or die by the sword.
