A fantasy quest novel, with a setting that has a remarkably differentfeel. Yes, there is an evil dark lord type, in the form of a scaryserpent. Three people must set out on a quest to see what they can doabout it. A naive young man from a northern norse type culture, awarrior that has done a lot of slaying in his time, and a woman that isa victim of the aforementioned slayer.The novel has a dark, brooding feel, stylistically.

A book that WON'T brighten your day but'll make it better.

Best book I've read in awhile. The characters each have their own complexe and deep pasts. This book reminds of Tolkien except that I liked it. It had the person's feelings involved, ALONG WITH an amazing setting and history to the world it was based on. All this and accompanied by an almighty quest. It is mysterious and at the same time easy to understand. I loved this book and would suggest it to anyone who enjoyed . . . well there's no other book to compare it to. Just read it if you like fantasy.
