In the ancient epic, Grendel and his mother are monsters slain by the hero-warrior Beowulf. In SISTER OF GRENDEL we learn a different truth, told by the lone witness to their brutal deaths. In this powerful and poignant reimagining, Grendel has a sister Rehsotis. She is the last of the Anathian race, who possess refined language and intelligence, great physical strength, and longevity. With the help of her few allies, including a forsaken monk, a grieving lover, and a trusting child, Rehsotis must bridge the dangerous divide with humankind--the Smallheaded.
