The violent fifth installment of Cornwell's popular Viking series

King Alfred of Wessex is gravely ill. Now the Danes are attacking. They are led by the cruel warrior Harald Bluthaar. But Uhtred knows the enemy has a weakness. Harald has fallen in love with the sorceress Skade; her capture grants him victory in a historic battle. But Skade curses Uhtred, and his invincibility seems to disappear when he learns that his beloved Gisela has died in childbirth. And the smoke of burning villages once again floats across the land...
