Synopsis

Alfred the Great has been dead for a decade. His legacy: an uneasy alliance between the neighbouring kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia. Wulfgar, a young priest in training, more at home with his books than with a sword, has been tasked with an impossible mission.

Media Reviews
VM Whitworth's gripping tale combines convincing historical details with a well constructed plot, but its greatest asset is undoubtedly its central character. In Wulfgar, she has created an immensely appealing hero whose further adventures readers will anticipate with relish. * BBC History Magazine *
Excellent - definitely for Sansom/Parris readers. * Bookseller *
Once you're in, you will be hooked. * Weight Watchers Magazine *
...an excellent debut whodunit with a Viking theme which is to be followed next year by The Traitors' Pit, to which I am already looking forward. -- Mike Russell * The Sunday Herald *
