The sword Tyrfing has been broken to prevent it striking at the roots of Yggdras
il, the great tree that binds earth, heaven and hell together ...But now the mig
hty sword is needed again to save the elves, who are heavily involved in their w
ar against the trolls, and only Skafloc, a human child kidnapped and raised by t
he 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 Skafloc mus
t also confront his shadow self, Valgard the changeling, who took his place in t
he world of men. A superb dark fantasy of the highest, and most Norse, order.
