The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson | Box of Paperbacks

Swap those babies because I’m examining The Broken Sword, Poul Anderson’s grim historical fantasy novel. Inspired by Norse mythology and faerie stories, this book with its high drama and meditations on fate blends ancient and Classical tales with modern story structure.
