The Death Goddess, Hel, had sent several Hel-warriors to slay the traitor King Nidhug over the centuries. None had succeeded. Nidhug was not only a king, but also a warrior and sorcerer. He used a War Skull to stay alive and sacrificed many slave women for the power. However, everyone knows that even if it takes forever, "Hel laughs last".

She was Bloodsong. She had been a fighter/slave in King Nidhug's arena and had led the other slaves in a mighty rebellion for freedom. Eventually Nidhug found her and forced her to watch as he killed her husband and son. He had then left her to die with her unborn child, never thinking that Hel would use her in the forth-coming battle.

Bloodsong had made a deal with Hel. She would kill King Nidhug and regain the War Skull. In return, Hel would free Bloodsong and Guthrun (the baby that had died when Bloodsong had) to live a normal life. With the aid of a witch and two former arena slaves, the biggest magical battle was about to be fought and the battle cry will be heard again!

Bloodsong and Freedom!
