Yet another masterwork from Kay.

This time, Kay approaches the history of the British Isle, incorporating the Viking raids, the imagined history of Aelfred the Great, and the tension between pagan Britain and the
New religion from Europe.

Kay as always writes with grace, beauty and a deep understanding of the humanity behind the wars, duels and suffering of history.

An unreserved recommendation for fans of historical fiction, fantasy, or skilled writing in general.
