About Heroes & Monsters

Long before history was written down, people told stories of impossible odds, a lone warrior stepping forward to face a creature that had swallowed whole armies. The hero might carry a sacred sword or shelter behind a gleaming shield, guided by a cryptic oracle toward a prize the world had given up as lost. From the sun-scorched shores of ancient Greece to the frost-rimmed halls of the Norse north, these tales share one heartbeat: courage tested to its very limit, and the strange, hard glory that follows.
