About this ebook
When King Alfred is left to wander the English countryside looking
little better than a beggar, it seems there is no hope left - the
Vikings will conquer the country and they will all become slaves.
Ethelbert is still young, but he wishes he could fight to protect his
country. And soon he is called upon to do just that. But when faced
with such fearsome warriors, it is only through cunning and mystery
that they will get the upper hand...
A Viking story blending Norse mythology with historical fact and Terry Deary's vividly imagined characters.
