Uhtred of Bebbanburg has reputation, riches, warriors, his son at his side and a persistent sword-wound which is slowly killing him. Yet the Pagan lord is on a difficult quest. Several in fact. He is not only trying to rescue both a royal heir and his own daughter, but must also find the blade which wounded him. Harder still, he seeks to put a woman on the throne of a British kingdom - against all tradition. He believes her to be the best hope against the Vikings rampaging in the north, for she is Aethelflaed, defender of Mercia and the woman Uhtred loves. A breathtaking read. 337pp, paperback.
