Read by Stephen Perring

The latest in the bestselling Alfred series from number one historical novelist, Bernard Cornwell.
In the last years of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in failing health, and his heir is
an untested youth. The Danes, who have failed so many times to conquer Wessex, smell opportunity!
First comes Harald Bloodhair, a savage warrior leading a Viking horde, who is encouraged to cruelty
by his woman, Skade. But Alfred still has the services of Uhtred, his unwilling warlord, who leads
Harald into a trap and, at Farnham in Surrey, inflicts one of the greatest defeats the Vikings were
ever to suffer. This novel, the fifth in the magnificent series of England's history tells of the
final assaults on Alfred's Wessex, that Wessex survived to become England is because men like Uhtred
defeated an enemy feared throughout Christendom.
