Listen closely to the skald, who tells of the Sagas of Mann, where the Nine Heathen Virtues can be told in four tales of Viking men facing peril because of their desires. As in Valhalla, a warrior feasts after the battle at the long table and pleasures his brother atop the bedding. These men answer the question What makes the soul fearful, vengeful, and destructive? with the answer Submitting to the desires of the hero. Norse gods, butch-bottoms, bloodshed, bondage, and danger can all be told in these three fierce short stories and one torrid novella. Award-winning author Jeff Mann's talent for gay, erotic historical fiction is legendary.
