Avenging Liafail — Talbot Mundy

THE MINSTREL'S CHALLENGE RANG OUT
to defeated men to rally to a new prince
TROS OF SAMOTHRACE

sea captain without equal, loved of Thor and Odin, brave and cunning, Tros who stood before them, Tros who had claimed the fair-haired Helma, daughter of a hundred kings, to be his bride. The minstrel sang of Tros of the black beard and amber eyes that were the treasures of Odin and the women who were born to mate with, the offspring of a hundred gods. He sang of Tros who had met strange fleets in seas ac ross the far rim of the world and smitten them to ruin, and of Tros who built a ship, Liafail, to sail across the waters to DESTROY THIS CAESAR!
