Narrated by Stephen Perring

The master of historical fiction presents the iconic story of King Alfred
and the making of a nation.

As the ninth century wanes, England appears about to be plunged into chaos
once more. For the Viking-raised but Saxon-born warrior, Uhtred, whose life
seems to shadow the making of England, this presents him with difficult
choices.

King Alfred is dying and his passing threatens the island of Britain to
renewed warfare. Alfred wants his son, Edward, to succeed him but there
are other Saxon claimants to the throne as well as ambitious pagan Vikings
to the north.

Uhtred's loyalty - and his vows - were to Alfred, not to his son, and
despite his long years of service to Alfred, he is still not committed to
the Saxon cause. His own desire is to reclaim his long lost lands and castle
to the north. But the challenge to him, as the king's warrior, is that he
knows that he will either be the means of making Alfred's dream of a united
and Christian England come to pass or be responsible for condemning it to
oblivion.

This novel is a dramatic story of the power of tribal commitment and the
terrible difficulties of divided loyalties.

This is the making of England magnificently brought to life by the master
of historical fiction.
