About this audiobook
Experience the grandeur of the Volsung saga retold in rolling, epic verse that captures the tragic majesty of Norse mythology. The poem follows the life of the dragon-slayer Sigurd, his possession of the cursed ring, and the doom that befalls his house through betrayal and love. Considered by the author to be his masterpiece, it renders the raw power of the Eddas into a rhythmic English that thrums with ancient energy. It is a monumental work of heroic literature that delves into the acceptance of fate.
