Synopsis

The year is 895 in the period in British history known as the Dark Ages. The Anglo Saxons are ruling Wessex and Mercia while the Vikings rule in Danelaw. Unrest is widespread across the country. The illegitimate grandson of King Alfred is born to Prince Edward and his consort, Ecgwynn, a shepherd’s daughter. He is destined to become one of England’s greatest rulers uniting all of England under his crown. His name is Athelstan - the first King of England. In his 44 years of life he has to fight off many challenges from the Vikings, the Scots and the Welsh as well as some of his own people, including his brother, before fulfilling his destiny. This is the story of his triumphs and his tragedies - his life and his achievements.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ian VR Davison was born in Kent in 1963 and was brought up in a seaside town in Somerset. At the age of forty six, after twenty five years working as a management consultant primarily in the Central Government sector, Ian gave it all up to concentrate on his writing. His first book, an historical novel, 'The First King of England', published under the name IVR Davison, is set in the 10th century and took over two years to research and write. Ian had given up history at school at the age of thirteen but has always been fascinated by the period of English history known as the Dark Ages. His second book, a murder mystery, 'Murder at the murder', published under the name Ian VR Davison and currently available on Kindle, was based on an idea he originally conceived over fifteen years before it was finally written. The notes sat on a dark shelf gathering dust but he always knew that one day he would find the time to write it. Once restarted he completed the first draft of this novel in just over a month. He is currently working on a second murder mystery novel with his regular detectives Alan and Becca Foreman and he is also in the early stages of planning his next historical novel which will follow on from his first novel looking at the period after King Athelstan's death up to the millenium (1000AD).
