NOTE: This original "Complete Edition" contains both Part I: The Land of Death & Shadow and Part II: The Land of Ice & Fire, each now available as separate books in both print and Kindle editions. "The Saga of Beowulf" is the first complete novelization of the epic 10th century poem Beowulf, chronicling the rise of the emerging Nordic nations, the tragic blood-feuds of their clans, epic battles with mythological creatures in an ancient heroic age, and the final, futile struggle of one man against the will of Fate that made of him a Legend. "Breathtaking in scope and relentless in pace," the story follows 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 bring about the downfall of a nation, all the while fleeing from the woman he has sworn to love. Steeped in Norse mythology and lore, and based on extensive historical research, the saga unfolds across the frozen fields of Sweden and the fetid fens of Denmark, ranging from the rocky heights of Geatland to the sprawling battlefields of ancient France. "I wanted to tell the story in its entirety, and in the original setting of 6th century pagan Scandinavia," says author R. Scot Johns. "It had never been done before in its full scope, with both the historical and mythological elements intact. It took me ten years, so now I know why." "An epic adventure 1500 years in the making," this classic tale now comes to life once more in "a bold new retelling" for a modern audience.
