"A noble traveler arrives at the court of the Burgund, the Dragons of the Rhine. He is Sigfrid Sigmundson, warrior and shapeshifter, already fabled throughout the land for having slain Fafnar, the terrible battle-wurm. Welcomed into the royal circle, Sigfrid is proclaimed blood-brother by Gundohar, the young Burgund liege. But an insidious magic of an aging witch chains Sigfrid to this place - binding him with desire for the enchanting princess Gudrun... causing him to betray a heartsworn promise and a devoted love."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
