King Alfred was their lord and protector - until savagery shatters the bonds of love and loyalty. Twins Ulf and Inga have risen quickly in the service of King Alfred of Wessex. Ulf is a King's-thegn, one of his trusted household warriors. Inga is servant and friend of the King's eldest daughter Aethelflaed. The peace between Alfred and Guthrum, King of Danelaw East Anglia still holds. But when the Norse chieftain Hrólfr attacks Ulf's village it unleashes a chain of events which will change forever the lives of Ulf, Inga and their friends. Ulf falls prey to powerful demons and loses his sense of worth, his position and his liberty. Aethelflaed and Inga become pawns in Alfred's plans to enlarge his kingdom. And a heathen army returns to threaten a precarious peace and stability. From the bestselling author of Land of Blood and Water, Wolves of War The Flame of Resistance, A Love Most Dangerous and Very Like a Queen.
