Back-cover text, book1: Siggy
Piggy
Sigurd goes off into the forest. It’s night. The only light is
from the moon.
He doesn’t know which way to go.
The path takes him into a clearing. There he sees the
glow of a fireplace.
A man is sitting by the fire. His hat hides his face.
Can it be Brace? No, he’s far
too old.
Sigurd approaches a little nervously.
Perhaps the man will be angry if he talks to him.
What
if he attacks him?

Extract from
Sigurd's Saga :
|
Book 1 - Siggy
Piggy
“You stink, Siggy Piggy.”
Alf smirks and
dodges to one side so Sigurd can’t hit him.
Alf’s brother Hunn is grinning and making grunts like a
pig.
Sigurd throws punches at him but he hides behind his horse.
“You’re scared to fight,” says Sigurd
calmly.
He clenches his fists.
“You’re yellow, both of you. Cowards!”
Alf gives Hunn a signal. The
two brothers go into the pig-sty.
“Don’t you dare say that again, Siggy-Slave.”
Alf looks at him
angrily.
“We’re the king’s sons. Nobody jeers at us without getting their come-uppance.”
Hunn raises his
fists. “Especially not a serf.”
“I’m no slave,” hisses Sigurd. “My mother is married to your father, the
king.”
“Then who’s YOUR father?” Alf spits at him.
The clump of spittle lands at Sigurd’s feet.

Author's comments:
Lord of the Dragon is now finally complete. It has had many readers and for those who
really enjoyed Lord of the Dragon, a new series, Sigurd's Saga, has now been completed. Starting from the old
narrative circle about Sigurd Fafnersbane, I have created along with illustrator Hans Høygaard, 6 parts about
battle, honour and magic.
