Coelwulf, Mercia's last king, is dead. His legacy and right to rule Western Mercia have been claimed by Alfred of Wessex, but all know Alfred was never to have Mercia. Neither were the Viking raiders, who now command the eastern-most parts of Mercia and the former kingdom of the East Angles.
Icel, the bastion of Mercia's wars against Wessex and the Viking raiders, lies dying, but he refuses to abandon his beloved kingdom to her long-standing enemies.
Rudolf, the once-young ally of King Coelwulf the second, is summoned by Icel to attend upon him. Grudgingly, he arrives at Budworth, the task laid before him, audacious to say the least; rescue Coelwulf's acknowledged heir, Æthelred, from Wessex, where he's held prisoner by King Alfred. To do so, Rudolf must prevail upon the dispersed oath-sworn warrior band of King Coelwulf, and all of them, aside from him, have ignored Icel's increasingly furious demands to attend upon him. If they won't obey Icel, then why should they listen to Rudolf?
The fate of Mercia's survival rests in the hands of a man who should long have been in his grave, and Rudolf, a boy who's become a man in the most trying of circumstances. They must forge Æthelred into the emblem of Mercian survival. Or die trying. But first, they must rescue Æthelred from someone who's always pretended to be Mercia's ally, and is anything but."Riassunto" può appartenere a un’altra edizione di questo titolo.
