Siegfried the Dragonslayer: A Blood-Drunk Heroic Saga

Forget everything you have ever heard about shining heroes, noble knights, and clean legends. This version of the Siegfried saga does not smell of gold and incense. It smells of blood, smoke, wine, sweat, and betrayal. No flawless hero is born here, but a hungry, loud, vulnerable man who rises from the dirt of Xanten and tries to force his place in the world with fists, defiance, and burning ambition. Siegfried grows up among forge fire, hunger, and raw violence. He learns early that no one is coming to save him. So he becomes the danger himself. He fights, drinks, loves, takes what he desires, and kills what others fear. But every victory has its price. The dragon falls. The gold calls. Power begins to rot. >Between Xanten, the dragon's hoard, Burgundy, Brünhild, Kriemhild, Gunther, and Hagen, a dark, brutal, modern retelling of the old heroic saga unfolds-raw, vivid, and stripped of false shine. *A Heroic Saga in a Blood Frenzy* is no fairy tale for children. It is a story of hunger, pride, violence, love, betrayal, and the deadly illusion that any man can be invulnerable.
