The timeless adventure of a Nordic warrior's battle against a terrifying monster is brilliantly reimagined in this novel based on the Neil Gaiman film.
King Hrothgar and his soldiers have become the prey of the vengeful outcast monster Grendel. On the verge of final defeat, the great warrior Beowulf offers a ray of hope. Beowulf is called to a land of monsters to triumph where so many have failed . . . or to die as so many of the brave before him.
Set in medieval Scandinavia, this grand epic has endured for centuries, told and retold across generations and continents. Now acclaimed author Caitlín R. Kiernan offers a bold new version for modern readers, based on the screenplay by #1 New York Times–bestseller Neil Gaiman and Academy Award®–winning screenwriter Roger Avary.
