Beowulf & Grendel

Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar, the much respected Lord of the Danes, Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding troll Grendel. Grendel is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged. A loyal soldier, Beowulf finds that his willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is responsible for the troll's rampages. A story of blood and sweat, Beowulf & Grendel strips away the mask of the hero-myth, leaving a raw and tangled tale - one in which heads will roll.
