| About the Book | |
|
As his kingdom reels under Thorkell's assault, Æthelred only becomes more unstable, finding his nights plagued by dreams of his murdered half-brother, the martyred King Edward, and those he believes hold him responsible for his death. Seeing enemies everywhere, Æthelred lurches from calamity to calamity, compelling his sons, the noble Æthelstan and Edmund, to act against him for the good of the realm. Unbeknownst to the two brothers, their father's dreams are far more than they appear, holding the secret to his own salvation and a part yet to be played by a mysterious hero who is himself unaware of his role in what's to come.
