About this book
Morris built this early invented-world romance out of Germanic legend and his own love of the heroic past. The Wolfings and their kindred, a free tribal people of the northern forests, face the disciplined legions of Rome pushing into their land. Their war leader Thiodolf carries a dwarf-made mail-shirt given him by his supernatural lover, Wood-Sun, not knowing that its protection will betray his folk in the hour of battle. Written in a deliberately archaic mix of prose and verse, the tale weaves fate, kinship, and sacrifice around the defense of a homeland. It stands among the first modern fantasies set wholly in an imagined world, and it left its mark on Tolkien. Free to read here as a PDF and EPUB edition.
