Gods of the North

Gods of the North, written by Robert E. Howard, features the story 'The Frost-Giant's Daughter,' which is one of the earliest tales in the Conan series, set in the frozen lands of Nordheim. The narrative follows a young Conan, a Cimmerian mercenary, who survives a brutal battle between the Aesir and Vanir tribes. After the conflict, he encounters Atali, a mysterious and alluring figure, leading to a chase that intertwines themes of lust and danger. This story is notable for its early exploration of Conan's character and the mythic elements of Howard's work.
