About this book
Sixteen-year-old Redwald watches his father ride from Bures to join the English levy as a Danish fleet threatens the East Anglian coast. The arrival of a wounded household warrior turns distant danger into an urgent warning, and Redwald's mother prepares horses and wagons for flight. Charles W. Whistler tells this historical adventure through Redwald's later memories, placing family loss and threatened homes within the Saxon struggle of the days of Eadmund and Cnut.
King Olaf's movements connect the personal story to ships, coastal warnings and the defence of the Thames. Yet the quieter scenes give the conflict another scale: among the ruins of his home, Redwald speaks with a priest helping to restore the church and promises to pray for peace.
