Buy the book from:
Kent, early ninth century. Asculf, son of Deormund, leaves his orchards on Sceapig when military service reveals his skill in battle and strategy. His rise brings him to the attention of Æthelwulf of Kent and, through him, King Ecgberht of Wessex, placing an island landowner inside the politics of southern England.
Convinced that the coastal kingdoms need more than land forces, Asculf develops a naval response to Viking raiding. When a major fleet attacks, his plans are tested against experienced seaborne enemies, and the defence of Kent becomes inseparable from Ecgberht and Æthelwulf’s effort to coordinate the resources of their expanding realm.
