Lazy Davor spins wild stories until the day he runs away ? into real danger.

With only a wild wolf for company and the occasional appearance of a mysterious Master Odo, Davor finds himself on a nightmare journey that leads to the fabled Doomsong Sword, then to the most dangerous dragon in the Cold North ? and then to his true identity.

This page-turning account of dark deeds and bold adventures based on the Norse Volsung Saga includes shape-shifters and Dwarf-forged gold, a courageous horse, and the wicked deeds of the semi-mortal Loki ? and tells how an invincible sword was broken and re-made to defeat an evil dragon.
