Description
In ancient Scandinavia, a land beset by monstrous creatures and legends, Beowulf is warrior of extreme renown. Born in battle and shaped by steel, she has spent years proving that strength is not solely a man's domain.
When the halls of Heorot threaten to buckle under the horror of a monstrous creature known as Grendel, Beowulf answers the call.
As she battles creatures of nightmare, she finds herself drawn to a queen who she should slay for the good of the realm, a woman whose heart holds both solace and peril.
In this sapphic retelling of the Old English epic, Beowulf fights not just for victory, but for the right to wield her own destiny, defend her love and stand toe to toe against monsters that lurk in the dark.
Advance Praise
This book gave me John Gwynne vibes right out of the gate! I love O’Connor’s writing style, especially the imagery. Action, politics, romance with an amazing slow burn, and all the emotions. O’Connor is now one of my favorite authors and I can’t wait for more books! - ARC Reader
