Summary
"I want a united kingdom on this island, a nation stretching from one sea to another. So strong that no storm can knock it down, and so blindingly bright to be a beacon to the rest of the world. A nation with one king, one language, one legacy—"
"—and one God?" Alfred asked, his blood pounding loudly in his ears. Uhtred, however, only shook his head.
"No. My England will be home to all of them."In 870, before Uhtred's house in Leeds went up in flames and King Ethelred passed the crown to his younger brother, Wessex faced a new threat in the form of the ‘King of the North’, a mysterious warlord from Bebbanburg. Armed with deadly ‘gunpowder’, he is ready to turn upside down everything the people of his time knew about warfare to create a united England. Except young Alfred of Wessex isn't at all sure he wants to stop him.

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!”
