Publisher's summary

A tale of courage and true heroism, set during the reign of England's greatest king!

The year is AD 877, and King Alfred has succeeded in driving the marauding Danes from his kingdom—for the time being. Edwin and his sister Edith are just beginning to enjoy their liberty when, one terrible night, their lives change forever. Separated from one another, and caught up in the turmoil of their times, Edwin and Edith must learn to discern between truth and falsehood, friend and foe, or be swept away on a tide of treachery.

A blind bard, a lame blacksmith, and an ambitious warrior all have their role in this tale of courage and true heroism, set during the reign of Alfred the Great.

Excellent historical fiction!

This was an excellent work of historical fiction! I could tell the author did a lot of research, and I think she did an amazing job with her character development and the messages she wove into the story!

The audiobook narrator also did a very good job.
