This book, falls together nicely, i read it in two days. A femisit Epic about great men who come up against powerful female dragons, or keepers of the wealth. Use of chivalry and language makes everything special and changes the word usage in your head for a good two, three weeks. Trans, from old English, this classic is the earliest epic ever found (from 700 a.d.) about the Norsemen and there are some (scribes references?) to God. Saved by being thrown out the window of a monestary it was thus discovered in 1100 AD. Set in Old Daneland.
