Summary

King Alfred never achieved his dream of uniting the disparate Anglo-Saxon kingdoms into one Perfecta Saxonia.

The man destined to fulfill Alfred's dream is his grandson, Athelstan, as the spark of unity begins in the Saxon kingdom of Wessex. Abandoned by his father and raised by his uncle, young Athelstan faces numerous adversities on his way to becoming a mighty warrior and diplomat.

But can he overcome the odds to transform England from an insignificant island off the Western European mainland, into the leading centre of 10th-century diplomacy and learning?

Discover the story of one of the most important English kings, who put in place the foundations of modern-day England.

Very enjoyable

I really enjoyed this book. It's the first time I've listened to this author, it's too bad it's his only book on audible. I really hope there is more to follow. One of my favourite time periods for literature, I'm surprised there isn't more available on audible about Alfred the Great and his line. I'll be checking on the regular for this author moving forward
