Æthelflӕd, daughter of King Ælfred the Great, is elected Lady of the Mercians after her husband dies. Together with her brother, King Eadweard of Wessex, she embarks on a campaign to re-conquer Eastern Mercia (known as the Danelaw) from the occupying Danes. However, she must first deal with the threats from the ambitious Viking King in the North as well as the Welsh across the River Severn.

She is aided by her nephew and a thegn called Wynnstan. The latter has his own problems to deal with. He is devastated when a close friend betrays him and rapes his wife. She refuses to give up the resulting baby and, possessed by anger and despair, he sets off to join Æthelflӕd as she invades the Danelaw. He’s determined to end the desolation he suffers and die in battle but his friends are equally determined to save him from himself.

In this second instalment of four novels about the creation of England in the tenth Century, H A Culley brings Anglo-Saxon England, the political intrigue, the suffering of ordinary people and the incessant warfare that characterised the period, vividly to life.
