About the book
The beginning of an exciting series - a fast-paced adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat, featuring unforgettable characters.
Peace has been shattered. The Vikings thirst for revenge. Who will step up to defend against these invaders?
989 AD.
Alfred the Great's vision of a unified England has been realized by his daughter Aethelflaed and grandson, King Aethelstan.
The Vikings have been driven out of York after the death of Erik Bloodaxe, and for two generations there has been peace between the Saxons and the Danes.
A new Viking leader, Olaf Tryggvason, seeks retribution for Bloodaxe's demise and the ensuing massacre, setting his sights on launching a fresh attack on England's shores. Teaming up with Skarde Wartooth, they embark on a journey to Saxon territories, craving glory, conquest, and payback.
Beornoth, a fierce and battle-hardened Saxon warrior, is called upon to defend the Saxon people from the ruthless Norse invaders. Driven by a personal mission, he joins forces with Byrthnoth's army, the Lord of the east Saxons, in a desperate battle against the bloodthirsty Vikings.
Beornoth must confront his own inner demons, endure brutal assaults, and seek redemption for his sorrowful past.
If you enjoy reading books by Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, Conn Iggulden, and David Gemmell, then you will be captivated by this epic Saxon adventure filled with intense battles, Vikings, and thrilling exploits.
