Who will come to the aid of beleaguered King Hrothgar, whose warriors have become the prey of the outcast creature Grendel?
A grand and glorious story that has endured for centuries, this classic tale of heroes, gods and monsters takes on breathtaking new life in a remarkable new version for a modern era.
Brilliantly reimagined by acclaimed, award-winning author Caitlin R. Kiernan, based on the screenplay by the No.1 bestseller Neil Gaiman and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Roger Avary, it tells of a noble lord and a terrible creature who has brought death, blood and destruction to his kingdom – and of the great hero, Beowulf, who is called to a land of monsters to triumph where so many have failed…or to die as so many of the brave have before him.
