Audiokniha: Nevěří v Boha ani svého krále, přesto na něm závisí osud křesťanského království…Mladý northumbrijský velmož Uhtred z Bebbanburgu pomohl Sasům zvítězit nad vikinskými nájezdníky v bitvě u Cynuitu, během níž vlastnoručně připravil o život obávaného válečníka Ubbu Lothbroksona. Nyní však západosaské království Wessex čelí novému přílivu krvelačných Dánů, který zažene krále Alfreda a jeho věrné až do nepřístupných bažin, kde jsou nuceni skrývat se před nepřáteli jako nějací psanci.Zbožný panovník usilující o sjednocení Anglie, jemuž historie dala přídomek Veliký, se však nevzdává a pomalu shromažďuje vojsko, s nímž chce pohanské vetřelce vyhnat ze své země.
