Enemies of the Crown

About the book

The upcoming installment in Peter Gibbons' riveting Saxon Warrior series introduces a kingdom in turmoil. England finds itself under attack by Viking invaders, while also facing the control of a dominant church.

Set in the year 994AD, King Aethelred the Unready struggles to maintain his reign. The recommendations made by bishops only serve to provoke more Viking assaults on the Saxon territory, as Sweyn Forkbeard, the fierce Danish king, exerts his dominance and thirst for conquest.

Beornoth, a seasoned Viking-slayer and loyal thegn of the king, is forced back into battle when summoned to carry out a policy of revenge against their enemies.

Amidst a time of shifting allegiances, Beornoth joins forces with a ruthless band of Norman warriors on a brutal mission to eliminate the so-called Viking threats to Aethelred's rule.

Yet, as Beornoth's violent crusade brings him face-to-face with an old acquaintance, loyalty is tested. Will he remain faithful to his king, his country, and his fellow warriors?

Can Beornoth overcome seemingly impossible odds in the fight for England's future?

If you're a fan of Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom series, you'll be captivated by Beornoth's continued journey to defend Saxon Britain from Viking invaders and internal turmoil.

Perfect for enthusiasts of Simon Scarrow, Conn Iggulden, and David Gemmell, this epic Saxon adventure promises thrilling battles, Viking raids, and daring exploits.
