A hero will be forged from this broken l&.
To serve a king or become one? Uhtred – warrior, pagan, scourge of the Vikings – faces a hard choice.
Despite being offered a crown of his own, Uhtred is a man of his word. & he gave it to King Alfred of Wessex, who dreams of an England free from Vikings. So when the king orders him to take London from the Danes & hand it to his foolish son-in-law Aethelred, Uhtred agrees despite his concerns.
For Aethelred’s wife is the king’s spirited daughter Aethelflaed & her fate is entwined with Uhtred’s. & fate will not be denied…
Uhtred of Bebbanburg’s mind is as sharp as his sword. A thorn in the side of the priests & nobles who shape his fate, this Saxon raised by Vikings is torn between the life he loves & those he has sworn to serve.
