Of all his protagonists, however, none is as beloved as Uhtred of Bebbanburg.And while Uhtred might have regained his familys fortress, it seems that a peaceful life is not to be as he is under threat from both an old enemy and a new foe. The old enemy comes from Wessex where a dynastic struggle will determine who will be the next king. And the new foe is Skll, a Norseman, whose ambition is to be King of Northumbria and who leads a frightening army of wolf warriors, men who fight half crazed in the belief that they are indeed wolves. Uhtred, believing he is cursed, must fend off one enemy while he tries to destroy the other. In this new chapter of the Saxon Tales series a rousing adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love and battle, as seen through the eyes of a warrior straddling two worlds Uhtred returns to fight once again for the destiny of England.
