In the last years of the ninth century, England faces constant dangers. Alfred of Wessex, with his delicate health and an inexperienced successor, is threatened by the Vikings, who seek to conquer Wessex. Utred, Alfred's warlord, is forced to set a trap for the enemy, inflicting a heavy defeat on the Vikings at Farnham. However, after this victory, Uhtred must face family tragedies and the distrust of Alfred's henchmen, who are wary of his popularity and the monarch's favor towards a pagan. Uhtred decides to break with Alfred, renouncing his oath of loyalty and returning to Northumbria, where he once again embraces his Viking identity. What will make him fight alongside the Saxons again?
Bernard Cornwell is an English author of historical novels and a history of the Waterloo campaign.
