Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In the year 872, many of the separate kingdoms of what is now England have fallen to the invading Danes, leaving the great kingdom of Wessex standing alone and defiant under the command of King Alfred. Against this turbulent backdrop lives Uhtred. Born to a Saxon nobleman, he is captured by the Danes and raised as one of their own. Forced to choose between his birth country and the people of his upbringing, his loyalties are ever tested. What is he? Saxon or Dane? On a quest to reclaim his birthright, Uhtred must tread a dangerous path between both sides to play his part in the birth of a new nation and--ultimately--recapture his ancestral lands. |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The family name of the author's birth father was Oughtred and he is descended from the Saxons who took the name Uhtred. They had owned Bebbanburg (now Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland) and held it through the Danish invasion and occupation of northern Britain See more » |
| Goofs | It is incorrectly said that Alfred's crown would not have borne the fleur-de-lis. Alfred The Great, on whom the character is heavily based, is depicted a plethora of times through history as wearing a crown bearing the fleur-de-lis. See more » |
