To serve a king or become one? Uhtred warrior, pagan, scourge of the Vikings faces a hard choice.
Despite being offered a crown of his own, Uhtred is a man of his word. And he gave it to King Alfred of Wessex, who dreams of an England free from Vikings. So when the king orders him to take London from the Danes and hand it to his foolish son-in-law Aethelred, Uhtred agrees despite his concerns.
For Aethelreds wife is the kings spirited daughter Aethelflaed and her fate is entwined with Uhtreds. And fate will not be denied
