About The Pale Horseman
Wessex is the last English kingdom resisting Viking conquest. Uhtred, Saxon-born but Danish-raised, is bound to the land by birth and marriage yet uncertain of his allegiance. As a vast Viking force attacks, he must set aside hatred and distrust to stand with the fugitive King Alfred.
