Athelstan is chosen as the King of the English in 925, uniting the petty kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, the Danish-held Five Boroughs, and York. He seeks to unite the Scots and Welsh in a peace accord to protect their borders from the Norse Vikings, but danger and betrayal surround him from his stepbrother Edwin and powerful men who wish to rule. This leads to the pivotal Battle of Brunanburh, where allies must be chosen wisely.

In the tumultuous realm of power politics, the pursuit of dominance yields a solitary victor. Amidst the clash of kingdoms, Athelstan emerges as the ruler of the English, uniting the fragmented realms of Wessex, Mercia, the Danish-held Five Boroughs, and York following the untimely demise of his father, King Edward. With a vision to forge a harmonious union between the Scots and the Welsh, Athelstan seeks to safeguard their borders from the relentless threat of the Norse Vikings. While outwardly embracing peace and demanding loyalty, Athelstan harbors a more ambitious aspiration. However, his noble intentions are overshadowed by treachery and betrayal, particularly from his overlooked stepbrother, Edwin, who plots to seize the throne that rightfully belongs to him. As the stakes rise, influential figures such as Constantin of the Scots, Owain of Strathclyde, and Ealdred of Bamburgh conspire to exact their revenge against the rising English king, employing any means necessary. Within this captivating narrative, MJ Porter skillfully transports readers to early Medieval England, immersing them in the intricate tapestry of kingship and the pivotal Battle of Brunanburh. As alliances are forged and broken, the fate of nations hangs in the balance, demanding wise choices and unwavering determination from those who seek to shape the course of history.
