Grendel's Curse
A sword of legend in the hands of an extremist...
Skalunda Barrow, Sweden, has long been rumored to be the final resting place of
the legendary Nordic hero, Beowulf. And there's something of Beowulf's
that charismatic and zealous right-wing politician Karl Thorssen wants
very badly. Intent on getting his hands on the mythical swords Hrunting
and Nægling, Sweden's golden-boy politico puts together a team to
excavate the barrow. A team that American archaeologist Annja Creed
manages to finagle her way onto. She wouldn't miss this possible
discovery for anything.
With Nægling at his side, Thorssen could
be invincible — a Nordic King Arthur. What his followers don't know — and
Annja is beginning to suspect — is just how far Thorssen will go to
achieve his rabid amibitions. When Thorssen marks Annja for death, she
quickly realizes that this is much more than a political game. And the
only way to survive is to match Thorssen's sword with her own.
