Description

The exciting new adventure in the Wolf of Kings series of historical adventures by Richard Cullen. England, 1069. King William has finally stamped his authority on this conquered kingdom. His lands are held in the grasp of Frankish lords, and their castles dominate the skyline. But a rebellious few still lurk on the fringes, and they will not fade quietly into the wilderness. In the east, an outlaw rebel has risen, gathering support from the common folk, and building an island fortress that stands as a bastion of hope against Frankish oppression. Edgar the Aetheling remains defiant in his quest for the throne, and alongside renowned warrior Styrkar, the Red Wolf, sails to Denmark where he will forge an uneasy alliance. As winter shrouds the land in a cloak of frost, Styrkar, and the rebels at his side, will discover just how brutal the Conqueror can be. For King William is determined to stamp out further resistance, marshalling acts of utter cruelty that will leave a blight on England for decades. Deeds that perhaps even the Red Wolf might not survive...
