Halgar: The Saga

by Jay Stevens

The Saga
An epic poem of monsters, vengeance, and a warrior’s last stand.

When gods fall silent and beasts rise from the dark, only one man dares to fight back.

Halgar — outcast, warrior, legend — is forged in blood and tested by fate as he battles cursed creatures and haunted memories across a dying land. Told in thunderous verse and echoing the power of Beowulf, this gripping saga blends brutal action, ancient magic, and poetic storytelling into a modern epic unlike anything you’ve read before.

Perfect for fans of Norse mythology, heroic fantasy, and dark poetic tales. This is not just a story — it’s a battle cry.
