I read Elizabeth Boyer's books in the '90's and enjoyed them. I am using them as a reference now as I am writing my own Fae books and the author had a degree in Norse mythology. She knew her stuff.

The Thrall and the Dragon Heart Elizabeth Boyer 9780345302366 Books Reviews

This book is very well written and has so much action involved in it. Elizabeth Boyer (the author of the book) explained everything in so much detail, I could picture everything right in my head. The fantasy of unknown people and places, another realm and dark forces. I've never read anything like this before. I give the book two thumbs WAY up. I do admit there are a lot of difficult words, and it can get confusing, but in the end you know exactly what happened and what's going on. Names of characters is the hardest thing to read, but other than that it was rather simple. This book is not a waste of time, money or energy. It keeps you on your toes through out the entire thing. Read it! You'll love it.
This book was written after the brilliant and hilarious "The Elves and the Otterskin" and frankly does not have the same high level of humor. However, there are definitely compensations! The fascinating powers of the Dragon's Heart, the power struggles between the villains, and the richness and originality of the story, set in Elizabeth Boyer's unusual Alfar/Skarpsey world, make this a book worth reading several times over! Books where a servant has to prove himself aren't all that uncommon, but this book goes far beyond the point where Brak has proven himself his master's equal. There is no doubt of Brak's power and leadership before the story is half over, and we are left to watch his struggle against the machinations of Myrkjartan in gut-wrenching suspense.
There are situations in this book that I have never seen in any other fantasy book, and the excitement builds steadily to the final battle. Elizabeth Boyer was one of the most exciting fantasy writers of her time, and I feel it is a crying shame that her books aren't being reprinted!
This is a fantasy-adventure that takes place in a realm based on Norse mythology. The protagonist is Brak, a young thrall who encounters Ingvold, a beautiful girl who has been cursed by an evil witch. In trying to help Ingvold, Brak and his master stumble into a magical realm where the Dark Elves are battling to destroy the Light Elves. On a twisting journey to a satisfying conclusion, Brak endures several trials, grows into a hero, and, of course, rescues the girl. I really liked the fact that although he was a thrall, Brak took charge, acted bravely, and showed his master how to act with honour and nobility.

This is a fun book to read. It has the right mix of action, adventure, magic, and humour.
Excellent old school fantasy using Norse myths; unique theme and flavor to these books. Not Tolkien, but better than beach reading.
