Book description
The sword Tyrfing has been broken to prevent it striking at the roots
of Yggdrasil, the great tree that binds earth, heaven and hell together
. . . but now the mighty sword is needed again to save the elves, who
are heavily involved in their war against the trolls, and only Scafloc,
a human child kidnapped and raised by the elves, can hope to persuade
the mighty ice-giant, Bolverk, to make the sword Thor broke whole again.
But things are never easy, and along the way Scafloc must also confront
his shadow self, Valgard the changeling, who took his place in the world
of men. A superb dark fantasy of the highest, and most Norse, order The
Broken Sword is a fantasy masterpiece.
