Uhtred is compelled to honour an oath that draws him south after the death of Edward the Elder. Rival claimants and powerful nobles compete for the English throne, while Uhtred attempts to protect the young Æthelstan and prevent the kingdom from fragmenting.
The struggle takes him through naval action, ambush and court intrigue as succession replaces Danish invasion as the central threat. Uhtred’s support may determine whether Alfred’s descendants preserve the emerging kingdom of England.
