RETURN TO THE ORIGINS OF FANTASY WITH THE MOST FAMOUS OF ALL NORDIC LEGENDS: THE MAGIC RING, WHICH CAN SUBJUGATE ANYONE TO ITS WILL... THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG.
Alberich, the king of the Nibelungen, has forged a ring in heavenly gold. A ring so powerful that it can make every single thing bend to its will. Wotan, the Father of the Gods, wrests it from him, but is then struck by the curse of the Nibelungen. In an attempt to escape the curse, he sleeps with mortal women and from these unions are born Siegmund and his sister, Sieglinde.
Fleeing, Sieglinde finds refuge in a village on the frontier of Midgard and has to struggle so that the child she is carrying might live. She has already chosen his name: he will be called Siegfried.
