Warrior King: A story of King Alfred and his daughter
Paperback
(Independently published Feb. 2, 2020)
This is a new edition of Warrior King, with a new cover and updated introductory matter. It is the story of how Alfred the Great, against all odds, stemmed the tide of the apparently unstoppable Vikings and defeated their leader, Guthrum. But he wasn't alone. With him was his daughter, Aethelflaed, who was much later to become a ruler in her own right: the Lady of the Mercians. They were to become two remarkable rulers: but for now, hiding in the mysterious marshes of Athelney in Somerset, they are first and foremost a father and his daughter.
