Stolen Birthright

His mother was a captive princess of the Trolls.

But Valgard the Changeling was raised as the son of Orm in the Lands of Men.

His mortal foster parents never knew that their real son, Skafloc, had been stolen at birth to be reared to manhood in the twilight fields of Faerie... they never knew that the curse that had brought them Valgard had even more heinous magic to wreak.

But when Valgard learned the truth of his heritage, his vengeance knew no bounds. And so it was that he set forth to destroy his double - unaware that the gods had other plans for an Elfin mortal and a changeling born to kill.

SWORD-AND-SORCERY WITH A VENGEANCE

Unholy Bargain

Freda sank dumbly to her knees. For a moment in the blurry, wavering moonlight, she saw past drifting snow to the hill up which Skaflok fled. Weaponless he was, spent and reeling. The hounds were on his heels.

The vision faded. She looked to the night shape that stood over her. "You are Odin," she whispered, "and it is not for me to have dealings with you."

"Nonetheless I can save your lover - and I alone would, for he is heathen." The god's one eye held her as if she were speared. "Will you pay my price?"

"What do you want?" she gasped. "I will give it to you...."

And the irrevocable, foredoomed pact was made!

"It is impossible for the lively speculative intellect of Poul Anderson to touch the most familiar theme without transmuting it to pure gold!" - Anthony Boucher, Editor, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction

Book is dedicated to Astrid Anderson.

  Clear the day is, coldly
  calling with a wind-voice
  to the seam where tumbles
  titan play of billows.
  Stood you by my side now,
  sweetheart, on the deck-planks,
  life were full of laughter, 
  (Long you for me, Freda?)
