The lives of Alfred of Wessex and Eadwulf of Mercia continue to unfold against the ever increasing threat of Danish raids. Now back in his homeland after years as a slave to the Viking Danes, Eadwulf sets out on his determined quest for revenge. Meanwhile, Alfred’s leadership skills develop at the courts of his successive brothers. Before long, those skills will be put to the test... The Danes’ invasion of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in 865 is merciless and relentless. Every year more Norse ships join their comrades to plunder for wealth and gain domination over the people. The Wessex king is now Aethelred, Alfred’s last surviving brother, and Alfred becomes his trusted second-in-command. While the Danes take kingdom after kingdom, Alfred and Aethelred wait with baited breath for them to set their sights on Wessex. By 869 their worst fear is realised. And Eadwulf continues along his relentless path of revenge.
