The life and reign of Alfred the Great is coming to an end, but a huge invasion looms. Will he be able to repel the sea-wolves once and for all?
His reign must come to an end. But his legacy will live on forever.After thwarting the scourge of the Viking hordes that had decimated Britain for decades, King Alfred assured a period of peace and prosperity for the kingdom of Wessex. The dream of uniting all Anglo-Saxons under one, noble banner seems closer than ever before.
But his enemies are not ones to be taken lightly. For even as Alfred works to ensure the fate of his descendants for centuries to come, a fearsome warlord, Haesten, gathers his warriors for a brutal assault upon the shores of Alfred's territories.
As the battle lines are drawn, as the true power of this new and terrifying threat comes into its own, the ageing king knows in his heart that things will be different this time round. For as strong as his land, his birthright, his Wessex, has become, the consequences of defeat have never been more terrible.
For one who has gained everything has everything to lose.
'Another excellent historical adventure from Steven A. McKay. Whatever era he turns his pen to, the result is a captivating thrill ride' Tim Hodkinson
'Steven A. McKay never disappoints. He has turned history into an engaging and enthralling tale' Griff Hosker
