For her debut novel, Sharon Emmerichs crafts an addendum to Beowulf, told from the perspective of Freyda, teenage daughter of Weohstan, lord of the fortified town of Eceweall. The tale encompasses cursed treasure, legendary swords and a slumbering dragon, while Fryda contends with her emotionally distant father, ne’er-do-well brother Wiglaf, and her feelings for a slave called Theow.
