Told partly through the diary of Father Cuthbert, this second chronicle of the house of Aescendune follows Alfgar, son of Anlaf, a Dane brought up among the English. The massacre of St. Brice’s night, Danish raids on Wessex and the struggle of Edmund Ironside test his loyalties as father and son end up on opposite sides.
Historical fiction first told to schoolboys by their master, carefully faithful to the events of the early eleventh century. Download the free EPUB.
