The first complete novelization of the epic
poem Beowulf, R. Scot Johns' debut heroic
fantasy novel The Saga of Beowulf
chronicles the rise of the emerging Nordic
nations, the tragic feuding of their clans, epic
battles with mythological creatures, and the
final, futile struggle of one man against the
will of Fate that made of him a Legend.
"Action packed and true to the
heroic fantasy genre. I was
amazed."
- Jon Snow,

R. Scot Johns' follows up The Saga of Beowulf
with The Ring Saga, a 4-volume illustrated
heroic adventure novel based on Wagner's
Ring of the Nibelung opera cycle and ancient
Norse mythology. Coming in late 2010!
The Ring Saga tells the story of the dwarf
Andvari's Curse of the Rhinegold, which
brings about the downfall of both gods and
men. Mocked and spurned by the lovely
Rhinemaidens, guardians of the Rhinegold,
Andvari renounces love and forges from the
stolen gold a ring which brings to its bearer
power over all the world, but at a terrible
price. Used by J.R.R. Tolkien as inspiration for
The Lord of the Rings, this is the story that
began it all. Based on the Old Norse sagas and
Richard Wagner's immortal 4-part opera, The
Ring Saga tells the story of the ring curse as
it was originally intended to be heard.
THE SAGA BEGINS AUTUMN 2010!
