The story of the great King Hadding is one of the darkest and most violent to come down to us from the old North. Hadding’s story, however, starts off humbly, when his father, a Danish king, is slain shortly after his birth. Hadding is raised by giants far from his rightful throne until the day he feels he must regain his legitimate place in the land of the old North. His adventures border on the unbelievable, but by such men is history wrought, and Hadding’s history was destined to become legend.
