Fridthjof’s Saga

In Hilding’s garden, Fridthjof is an oak and Ingeborg a rose. He climbs to eagle’s nests for her, carries her across torrents—and grows up believing no king’s rank can put her beyond his reach.

Among Norse halls, forests and sea-roads, the two children become a young warrior and a princess, bound by a love that seems as natural as spring. But Ingeborg’s foster-father reminds Fridthjof that royal blood draws a hard line between them. When King Bele calls his sons and Thorstein’s son before him, he offers counsel on power, mercy and loyalty—and leaves the young men facing a future in which honor may demand more than brave words. Can Fridthjof make worth count for more than birth?
