Alfred the Great is dying, and the political order he created depends on whether his son Edward can hold Wessex against Danish attack and internal rivalry. Uhtred has little affection for the royal family, but his oaths and concern for England draw him into the succession crisis.
As Danish leaders test the new king, Uhtred organises resistance and confronts enemies who expect Alfred’s death to divide the Saxons. The novel explores the transfer of power from Alfred to Edward and the uncertain survival of the kingdom-building project.
