Beowulf II
A DIVERSITY OF DRAGONS by Anne MacCAFFREY, 1997
There is no glory in Beowulf's final struggle. It is a wrenching horrid grapple on sharp wet rocks, choking on the dragon's fumes. No swordplay either, his blade is a butcher's knife, hacking and stabbing, only the protection of the shield will allow him to survive long enough to take his foe with him into death...
As for the sea and especially the cliffs, they've been favourites of mine for a long time...
