Synopsis

'A gripping saga of great passion'

'As splendid a ripping yarn as any of the best classics'

'I loved it . . . [a] stately, seething, passionate epic'

This dramatic, far-reaching tale brings to life a land of warring kings, Christians and pagans, and tribes divided by language and culture, illuminating a little-known yet critical period in British history.
