About this book
A king hears an unsettling prophecy about his young son: Guthred will lose his freedom, and a man born in bondage will help him gain a kingdom. This warning opens Herbert Inman's historical adventure about Wulnoth, whose search for his friend brings him among princes and Danish sea kings. His love for Princess Edgiva and his friendship with Alfred connect personal loyalties with the struggles of royal households.
In Hungwar's hall, Wulnoth and his companion Wahrmund face threats from a suspicious chief. Wahrmund urges escape, while Wulnoth waits for the sign promised by the wise woman Wyborga. Their disagreement tests the obligations of friendship and service. Wulnoth also weighs Christian belief against the gods of the North, trying to understand how patient endurance can fit a warrior's calling. Readers of early English historical fiction will find questions of faith and social rank woven into scenes of danger and companionship.
