It tells of the explits of King Hrolf and of his famous champions, including Bodvar Bjarki, the 'bear-warrior': a powerful figure whose might and bear-like nature are inspired by the same legendary heritage as Beowulf. Depicting a world of wizards, sorceresses and 'beserker' fighters - originally members of a cult of Odin - this is a compelling tale of ancient magic
