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.

This tells the story of the unification of England under Alfred over several year from the Saxon viewpoint. Focused on the lives of the characters rather than the battles, it shows how the many fractured kingdoms came together. if you enjoyed Bernard Cornwell's Last Kingdom I believe you will enjoy this book. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The storyline and content itself was okay. If you're a fan of Anglo Saxon history, then you'll enjoy it. My only issue was the narration. Unfortunately the narrator sounds like Jeffrey from Game of Throwns. He even has that whiney smugness in the tone of his voice.

Overall the book was good and I recommend it.

I was given a free review copy of this book at my request and have chosen to voluntarily leave a review.

This book is poorly written, non-compelling tripe. To say that it is a poorly plagiarized reworking of Bernard Cornwell’s Last Kingdom series gives it an unwarranted compliment. The narration is saved only by its unintended comical mispronunciations.

Brazen plagiarism
