A dark, action-driven fantasy adventure centered on a warrior's battle against a monster, built on martial combat and mythic peril rather than emotional depth.

Beowulf is a wanderer who learns about a man-eating creature called Grendel, which comes in the night to devour warriors trapped at the Outpost. The Outpost is ruled by Hrothgar. He has a daughter, whose husband may have been murdered by the Outpost's master of arms.
