After the death of King Alfred the Great in Britain came peace - very conditional and fragile, because the country is divided in half. The warlike Dane tribe still claims the south of the island, and the Saxons want to appropriate the northern lands. And then the leader of the Danes Knut Long Sword violates the border . For what purpose? His squad is small, and this risk seems unjustified. Meanwhile, Utred of Bebbanburg, a famous general who once fought on the side of Alfred the Great, commits an unforgivable act for which he is anathema, and becomes an outcast. However, wise experience Utred never expected gratitude from the powerful of this world .. He equips the ship and sails to Northumbria, with the help of a cunning plan to regain his possessions - the impregnable fortress of Bebbanburg. Southern Britain remains without a reliable defender and turns into a foothold There will be a fierce battle between the Danes and the Saxons, and its outcome will depend on what name will receive in the centuries this abundantly blood-soaked earth.
