Synopsis

It's 936AD and King Athelstan of the Saxons is expecting an invasion of Scots and Irish Vikings to put their man Earl Anlaf on the throne of the Kingdom of Northumbria in York. However, his enemies are many and coming from all over Greater and Lesser Britain and they all intend to meet at Brunanburgh, the old Roman fort of Morbium. Athelstan's spies know their plans and he prepares his forces to meet them during the next summer. Two Pictish princesses come south as warriors with the Scots army to revive the fortunes of their people. They meet two of Athelstan's soldiers on the battlefield and fall in love in the midst of the slaughter.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

David Anson has had a long interest in the history of the Don Valley of South Yorkshire, the place where he was born and worked for most of his life. He feels the area has been neglected by many historians and thinks it's time that a major event in Anglo-Saxon history, which may have occurred there, was rediscovered. His contribution to get the discussion going is to write a story around the real history. David's second book, a political thriller set thousands of years in the future, and a third the sequel to Brunanburgh, are in the course of preparation.
