Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers
Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. In an epic tale of vengeance, faith, and myth, a creature known by many names--Corpse-maker, Life-quencher, and Grimnir--emerges from his lair, driven by a thirst for revenge against the Dane who killed his brother. As the last of his kind, Grimnir faces a world transformed by a new faith that threatens to extinguish the Old Ways. To navigate this changed landscape, he takes a young Christian hostage as his guide. Their journey begins in Denmark, where ancient dwarven wisdom has succumbed to madness, and continues to the war-torn heart of southern England, where the spirits of the land are in turmoil. The path leads them to Ireland's shores and the Viking stronghold of Dubhlinn, where Grimnir's enemy awaits. However, to achieve his vengeance, Grimnir must confront his own hatred. Dubhlinn becomes the stage for a monumental reckoning between the Old Ways and the New. Grimnir faces a crucial choice: ally with the Christian King of Ireland to fulfill his quest for revenge or oppose him and risk losing everything. The fate of his vengeance--and possibly the world--hangs in the balance.…

Beowulf meets The Lord of the Rings meets Bernard Cornwell in an epic novel of vengeance, faith and the power of myth.
To the Danes, he is skraelingr; to the English, he is orcnéas; to the Irish, he is fomoraig. He is Corpse-maker and Life-quencher, the Bringer of Night, the Son of the Wolf and Brother of the Serpent. He is Grimnir, and he is the last of his kind―the last in a long line of monsters who have plagued humanity since the Elder Days.
Drawn from his lair by a thirst for vengeance against the Dane who slew his brother, Grimnir emerges into a world that’s changed. A new faith has arisen. The Old Ways are dying, and their followers retreating into the shadows; even still, Grimnir’s vengeance cannot be denied.
Taking a young Christian hostage to be his guide, Grimnir embarks on a journey that takes him from the hinterlands of Denmark, where the wisdom of the ancient dwarves has given way to madness, to the war-torn heart of southern England, where the spirits of the land make violence on one another. And thence to the green shores of Ireland and the Viking stronghold of Dubhlinn, where his enemy awaits.
But, unless Grimnir can set aside his hatreds, his dream of retribution will come to nothing. For Dubhlinn is set to be the site of a reckoning―the Old Ways versus the New―and Grimnir, the last of his kind left to plague mankind, must choose: stand with the Christian King of Ireland and see his vengeance done or stand against him and see it slip away?
