Night after night the terror comes . . .
'Then the night of waiting began to close around Hrethric. The darkness, fanged with ice, bit through his covering of fur; it tightened over his head; creatures spawned in its breath and crawled over his skin; and its rancid fumes entered his mouth and lodged like a swab in his throat. He was stifled; his arms were pinned to his sides; his mind spun . . .'
The Scylding kingdom has been gripped by terror for twelve long years. Nightly visitations from the monster, Grendel, have seen its mightiest warriors devoured, its people crippled, and its king immobilised by guilt and grief. The king's son, Hrethric, can see no end to the devastation. But the coming of Beowulf, the Great hero, brings hope . . .
