Blurb from the cover:
A noble traveler arrives at the court of the Burgund, the Dragons of the Rhine. He is Sigfrid Sigmundson, warrior and shapeshifter, already fabled throughout the land for having slain Fafnar, the terrible battle-wurm. Welcomed into the royal circle, Sigfrid is proclaimed blood-brother by Gundohar, the young Burgund liege. But an insidious magic of an aging witch chains Sigfrid to this place--binding him with desire for the enchanting princess Gudrun . . . causing him to betray a heartsworn promise and a devoted live.
For in the realm of the Hun, the beautiful and loyal Brunahild patiently awaits the return of her champion--having already borne the girlchild Sigfrid has unknowingly sired. It is base treachery, however, that reunites the Raven with her Wolf--as her expected hero reappears but in disguise, to best Brunahild in combat and win her for the Burgund king.
