Learn moreThis classic fantasy takes listeners to a world similar to that of J. R. R. Tolkien'sLord of the Rings.
Thor has broken the sword Tyrfing so that it cannot strike at the roots of Yggdrasil, the tree that binds together earth, heaven, and hell. But now the mighty sword is needed again to save the elves in their war against the trolls, and only Skafloc, a human child kidnapped and raised by the elves, can hope to persuade Bรถlverk the ice-giant to make Tyrfing whole again. But things are never easy, and along the way Skafloc must also confront his shadow self, Valgard the changeling, who has taken his place in the world of men.
A superb dark fantasy of the highest, and most Norse, order The Broken Sword is a fantasy masterpiece.
Poul Anderson (1926โ2001), one of the most prolific and popular writers in science fiction, won seven Hugo Awards, three Nebula Awards, and many other awards and accolades.
Bronson Pinchot, an Audie Awardโwinning narrator and Audibleโs Narrator of the Year for 2010, received his education at Yale University. He restores Greek Revival buildings and appears in television, film, and on stage whenever the pilasters and entablatures overwhelm him.
Reviews
“Poul Anderson’s classic fantasy, The Broken Sword, knocks The Fellowship of the Ring into a cocked hat.”
โThis book is a stunner, and a must for every fantasy lover.โ
โOne of the most influential fantasy novels Iโve ever read.โ
โAnderson taps the authentic vein of Norse myth, but, like Tolkien, recreates it in his own unique style.โ
