Tenth century England: a divided and broken country of misrule. Yet King Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great, seeks to unite the kingdom under one crown.
By his side is Dunstan of Glastonbury - priest, soldier, visionary and, some insist, traitor - whose task is to steward seven kings through fire, war, murder and fury to see Athelstan's dream come true.
But what stain will it leave on his mortal soul . . .

Outstanding.
Such a wonderful book! Inevitably the author's imagination was engaged in filling in the gaps in the known historical details, and the book is better for it. It is a gripping, often exciting story that I recommend it to everyone.
