"The story is set in Scandinavia. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland (GΓΆtaland in modern Sweden) and becomes king of the Geats. Fifty years later, Beowulf defeats a dragon, but is mortally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants cremate his body and erect a tower on a headland in his memory." -Wikipedia description

Requiem For A Warrior: The Book Of Levi by LevisLegend3210
2 parts Ongoing Mature
This Book is still in early access, so the exact Genre of the book is yet to be revealed. Read it and decide for yourself. Language slurs, violence, sex scenes are used throughout the book, it's beginner friendly as well...although I do advise, a sensitive reader should not read this. The fictional universe is set in medieval times between about 900-1300AD, but with a bit of a twist. The fiction will be set on a continent named Dark'ar. With four sets of land split up called The Northern Kingdom, which has Norsemen-like inhabitants, The Western Kingdom, which has Saxon-like inhabitants, The Eastern Empire, which has Arabian-like inhabitants, The Southern Wastelands, which has all kinds of different inhabitants, then finally, Riverpass Forest, which is situated in the middle of Dark'ar, which has tribal/native inhabitants. Everything is set as it was in 900-1300AD, except this fiction includes Bloodthirsty monsters, monster hunters, forms of slight magic, majestic plants and characters throughout the book. Note: The first instalment is set from a 1st person view. Which means that specific character is the one explaining the story, which also means his/her thoughts will be the ones accounted for. How the book is written. Examples: Inner monologue/thoughts: "Today is going to be lovely." Conversation between characters: Hafdan: Where is the trial? Isabel: It's vanished. The rest only requires basic reading skills. Enjoy!
