Synopsis

One man. Seven Kings. England's bloody throne . . . THE EPIC STORY FROM MASTER STORYTELLER CONN IGGULDEN, PERFECT FOR FANS OF ROBERT HARRIS' ACT OF OBLIVION
'Iggulden tells an absolutely cracking story. The pace is nail-biting and the set dressing magnificent' THE TIMES _________

Tenth century England: a divided and broken country of misrule. Yet King Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great, seeks to unite the kingdom under one crown.

By his side is Dunstan of Glastonbury - priest, soldier, visionary and, some insist, traitor - whose task is to steward seven kings through fire, war, murder and fury to see Athelstan's dream come true.

But what stain will it leave on his mortal soul . . .

'A gripping and glorious legend. Brilliant!' Weekend Sport
'Breathes new life into the darkest and most dramatic of times' Star

'Dunstan is a vivid, convincing character' *BBC History Magazine***
