The Tower of Beowulf — Parke Godwin

Under the harsh tutelage of a merciless father, young Beowulf grew to be a strong and skillful leader of men. But shame, guilt and loss have marked him a coward in his own mind -- unworthy of praise and the noble trappings of victory.

Attend the saga of Beowulf, tormented warrior and slayer of monsters -- an indomitable champion driven to confront great peril and ever-greater foes in his vain attempt to throw away a life he holds at no value. Here is the epic story of a hero in spite of himself, whose legend is born at the dank bottom of a haunted lake -- and of the unwanted mantle of glory, duty and pain that Destiny has decreed he must wear until the end of his days.
