Synopsis
A modern retelling of the ring cycle, arguably the best story ever invented by man (or planted in our subconscious by some power, who knows?) - an essential part of the ancient Nordic tradition of the Edda, that inspired Wagner to produce possibly the towering masterpiece of Western culture, his cycle of operas Der Ring des Nibelungen, as well as (of course) even better-known Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings (although the elements most connected to the saga in his work are rather to be found in the wonderful Silmarillion).
The author wanted to give the modern audience an opportunity to get familiar with that incomparable story, by bringing it to a contemporary setting in his adopted city of Geneva - but hopefully keeping some of the magic that has fascinated men and women discovering the tale for centuries - as well as bringing out the adult elements that were latent in the story, but that neither the medieval bard nor Wagner in the nineteenth century had dared to make explicit.
In this second installment of the epic saga, we enter the world of the humans, following the fate of the offspring of the king of gods: the tragic twins, and of course the glorious Valkyrie, that fascinating character who is at the very center of the saga, and gives her name to the book.
