About this audiobook
King Alfred stands alone against the rising tide of barbarian darkness in this stirring poetic saga of the defense of Christendom. The rhythm of the verse captures the desperate heartbeat of a nation fighting for its soul at Ethandune. It is a timeless testament to the power of hope when all seems lost.
