In the last years of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in failing health, and his heir is an untested youth. The Danes, who have failed so many times to conquer Wessex, smell opportunity…

The book were really greeat. However, the reader in this book five is monotone and seems to pronounce all names wrongly, which ruins the experience.
