The Nibelungenlied

Kriemhild dreams of a falcon she has raised—then watches two eagles tear it apart. Her mother reads the bird as a noble man, but Kriemhild vows she will never love one.

At Worms on the Rhine, Kriemhild lives among Burgundy’s powerful princes, their bold knights, and the honors of a glittering court. Yet her dream shadows that bright world: her mother warns that love may bring her joy only at the cost of sorrow, while Kriemhild resolves to keep her heart safe. Then Siegfried, a hero of extraordinary strength, comes seeking her hand. Can a woman who has sworn against love escape the fate her dream seems to foretell?
