Sagan om Beowulf är ingen saga. Kvädet är en berättelse som handlar om personer som funnits i verkligheten på Gotland under 400- och 500-talet. Författarna Hans Wanneby och Rikard Evertsson pusslar ihop bitarna från kvädets gåtfulla innehåll och skapar en helhet som tidigare inte presenterats. Nu får draken och monstret sin förklaring och den fysiska miljön runt kungshallen på Stavgard levandegörs. Genom att vandra i Beowulfs spår, ger de platserna i kvädet nytt liv och sammanhang.
