1004 AD: The fate of a fractured and embattled nation hangs by a thread. Eadric Streona grows in power, controlling an even-weaker King Aethelred the Unready. No man dares to stand to oppose him. King Sweyn Forkbeard of Norway has unleashed his fearless Viking warlord Thorkell the Tall upon England's shores with his eye firmly on the weakened Saxon throne. Can the Vikings unite to conquer the English and claim the crown? Lord Beornoth, the Viking-killer lives on, beset by the ravages of age and tortured by his past, At the Kings bequest he is plunged into the brutal twilight of Saxon rule, where loyalty, courage, and sacrifice are tested on blood-soaked fields. Armies clash and the throne of England becomes the ultimate prize. In the face of a Viking invasion, Beornoth faces his greatest battle in this unflinching fight through the last days of Saxon England.
