Together they help their friend Crel and his dancing bear become the Bearman, the shapeshifting Reaper God who leads the people of Norgondy into war against their usurper queen. Singer of Norgondy is a fantasy novel of revolt and revenge, deception and intrigue. ".The strongest elements of Winston's novel are the detailed descriptions of Norgondy, its rituals and its religious conflicts.
