After the Danish victory that drives Alfred into the marshes of Athelney, Uhtred must decide whether to support the fugitive king or seek a future among the Danes. Wessex appears close to collapse as Guthrum’s forces occupy much of the kingdom and Alfred attempts to rebuild resistance.
The campaign leads to the Battle of Edington, where the survival of the last independent English kingdom depends on a hastily assembled army. Uhtred’s battlefield experience becomes essential even as he resists Alfred’s demands for obedience and Christian discipline.
