In the year 937, King Aethelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great, readies himself to throw a great spear into the north. His dream of a kingdom of all England will stand or fall on one field and the passage of a single day. At his side is Dunstan of Glastonbury, full of ambition and wit, perhaps enough to damn his soul.
By the British author who writes historical fiction, most notably the Emperor series, Conqueror series and the War of the Roses series Conn Iggulden.
