The second book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped
millions. A hero will be forged from this broken land. As seen on
Netflix and BBC around the world. When peace is torn apart by
bloody Danish steel, Uhtred must fight to save a king who distrusts
him. Skeptical of a treaty between the Vikings and Wessex, Uhtred
takes his talent for mayhem to Cornwall, gaining treasure and a
mysterious woman on the way. But when he is accused of massacring
Christians, he finds lies can be as deadly as steel. Still, when
pious King Alfred flees to a watery refuge, it is the pagan warrior
he relies on. Now Uhtred must fight a battle which will shape
history - and confront the Viking with the banner of the white
horse ... Uhtred of Bebbanburg's mind is as sharp as his sword. A
thorn in the side of the priests and nobles who shape his fate,
this Saxon raised by Vikings is torn between the life he loves and
those he has sworn to serve.
