    Summary

    Uhtred knew they were coming seconds before they descended on them from the tree lines.

    Cold dread seized his heart, a full-grown panic that made him dizzy. This was an impossible position to defend, he knew it. He grabbed for the handle of his weapon and, for a fraction of a heartbeat, looked at Alfred, who was looking back at him with wide eyes, pale and fragile, clearly unprepared. Uhtred drew his sword.

    “TO YOUR WEAPONS!” he shouted from the depth of his chest. “DEFEND THE KING WITH YOUR LIVES!”

    Summary

    She had given her son away once. Sometimes she thinks this is where the trouble started. They had taken the sick child out of her hands and returned with a healthy one.

    And It looked the same, it acted the same! She should not dwell on it.

    Witchcraft is not a thing that exists, neither do fairies. She knows that no one is as powerful as God. It’s within His power to heal the sick, within His power to raise the dead. But knowing something is not the same as feeling it.

    Summary

    “The Mercian recalls what her father told her only the day before, with a stern pinch in his brow.

     

    “My dear, this union is for the good of Mercia. You will marry Lord Alfred and do your duty to your country. If God is good, he will be a good husband to you. If God has no mercy, then…”

    Then she must be a good wife.”

     

    In which Aelswith and Alfred meet for the first time, discuss the reality of dreams, and come to an understanding.
