Publisher's Synopsis
In this brilliant retelling of Wagner's Ring Cycle, noted poet Jorge Luján reveals the true hero of these ancient and powerful myths Brunhilda, who through her love, passion, and unwavering loyalty redeems Siegfried. The gods and her whole world come crashing down around her, but by her sacrifice she manages to remain a stirring and admirable figure amongst the vain, the greedy, the venal, and even the evil forces all around her. Lavishly and exquisitely illustrated by master artist Linda Wolfsgruber, and told in free verse, this book gives readers a new approach to an ancient story.
