A man. Seven kings. The blood-soaked throne of England... THE EPIC STORY FROM THE GREAT STORYTELLER CONN IGGULDEN, PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO LOVE ROBERT HARRIS' 'ACT OF OBLIVION'.

The history of the tenth century in England: a divided and ravaged land chaos. However, King Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great, strives to unite the kingdom under one crown.

But what mark will this leave on his human soul...
