At a Beowulf feast, warriors drink ale, celebrate their victory and listen to stories about heroes and legends. One such tale is about a bitter feud and about a queen called Hild... 

For her latest novella Blood-Siren Canadian writer Kirsty Campbell drew on two scholarly studies of Frisians in the Middle Ages, among others Frisians of the Early Middle Ages by John Hines and Nelleke IJssennagger-van der Pluijm (eds.), and Frisians and their North Sea Neighbours, by the same authors. Nelleke IJssennagger-van der Pluijm is managing-director of the Fryske Akademy and researches intercultural dynamics and connections in the early Middle Ages in the regions around the North Sea.
