Buy the book from:
England, ninth century. A later Deormund and his friend Faruin seek to recover Sceapig after Viking conquest has disrupted their families and community. Their abilities bring them into the service of the young Alfred, whose kingdom faces an enemy no longer content with isolated raids.
As the Great Heathen Army overruns much of England, the two men become advisers and commanders in Alfred’s struggle to preserve Wessex. The remembered execution of King Ælla of Northumbria gives the conflict its grim symbol, while the campaign tests whether military reform, fortified defence and political unity can reverse the Viking advance.
