About this audiobook
An epic poem thunders with the clash of swords and the stirring of ancient English spirits as King Alfred defends his Christian kingdom against the pagan Danes. Weaving legend and history, this lyrical masterpiece captures the eternal struggle between hope and nihilism. The White Horse stands as a silent witness to the courage required to keep the flame of civilization burning in the darkest of times.
