beowulf gutenberg

"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 (Götaland 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

A Viking's Rage by heather_cooki

[2018 Watty's Shortlist] In a brutal world ruled by cruelty and power, Aiya is nothing more than a slave-her life defined by servitude and pain. But when her ruthless Lord betrays her and Northumbria falls under siege by Norse invaders, Aiya's life is shattered once again. Captured by the fierce warriors from across the sea, she is thrust into a harrowing journey that will test her resilience, force her to face unimaginable cruelty, and confront a destiny she never believed possible. Ragda, the rightful son of the Jarl Lowzow, and his volatile half-brother Dagr lead their warriors on a raid destined to glorify their names. Confident in the favor of their gods, they're unprepared for the chaos that follows when they encounter the fiery slave girl who challenges everything they thought they knew. A gripping tale of fate, revenge, and an unlikely spark of love that could either save them... or destroy them.

Not two decades later, a young man with strange origins finds his path uncertain, as he learns he is a reincarnation of that same hero. Now, he must be the real hero among all those who have fallen.

Requiem For A Warrior: The Book Of Levi by LevisLegend3210

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!

Narnia's Lover by SashaSandy1

This story is partially under construction but I released all the parts written in 2015 and sooner to give a completed storyline. I have since left this story untouched. Elizabeth moved in with her Aunt after her father went to war. Her mother had disappeared when she was ten, and hasn't been seen since. She became friends with the Pevensie children, whom lived a couple houses away from her Aunt's, and they have become almost inseparable. Elizabeth gets swept away to a world called Narnia with the Pevensies, who have been there before. She has little knowledge of how to handle a sword, bow, or any weapon; yet she finds herself in the middle of a war. Not to mention the growing feeling of attraction for the handsome, young king.
