The sword of kings. Cornwell B.

King Alfred the Great in his dreams saw Britain a single state, and his son Edward sacredly followed the covenants of his father, but before his death he expressed his last will: the kingdom should be divided. This news is surprised to find the Upred of the Bebbanburgh, the great commander, who at one time an oath of allegiance to King Alfred. And another painful oath burns his heart, and the word must be kept tight. Having left the generic nest, he goes to those lands where he is called nothing more than Uredred the Gentile, Udred Atheist, Udred Protter. The civil war is brewing, and while the two warring parties are gathering the army, the inexorable fate entails Lord Utred into the city of Lunden. A cruel battle will be held here, during which the fate of the country will be decided.
