Styrbiorn the Strong

Step into the brutal, glorious world of Viking-age Scandinavia with E. R. Eddison's retelling of the saga of Styrbiorn the Strong. Born Biorn, nephew to King Eric the Victorious, he earns his formidable epithet for a temper as untamed as his ambition. From his foster father's court, Styrbiorn's path is one of relentless pursuit of the Swedish crown, a journey paved with valorous deeds and undermined by his own towering pride and explosive wrath. This is a tale of epic clashes, political maneuvering, and a warrior's relentless drive, all rendered with the stark, mythic grandeur of the sagas themselves.
