From The Publisher:
At the end of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in ill health; his heir, an untested youth. His enemy, the Danes, having failed to conquer Wessex, now see their chance for victory. Led by the sword of savage warrior Harald Bloodhair, the Viking hordes attack. But Uhtred, Alfred's reluctant warlord, proves his worth, outwitting Harald and handing the Vikings one of their greatest defeats.

The library open again and I finally borrow the book. Have had some minor issues with the audiobook and I wanted to try to read the series instead. This book is one of my favorites in the series such a good and compelling story. I can't wait to continuing with the series to see what going to happen next as things went very interesting in this!
