    Summary

    “Yes, I could have released you all - but then what? Your brother is a weakling, Alfred, and he would have never used my weapons like you did. He would have prayed for a bit, humped a whore and declared war on me - a war that would have more deadmen than victors! And if that’s what you wish for, then, yes, I am a monster that you—”
    “I wish for you not to exist, Uhtred!” Alfred hissed, leaning forward. “You and this abomination you call ‘England!’”


    Half a year has passed since Uhtred of Bebbanburg united England under his power and became its first king. But while fourteen newly made shires are trying to understand who they are to each other, churches are howling about the coming of the Antichrist and former kings are mourning lost power, Alfred of Wessex decides that enough is enough.
    Forsaking his destiny, family and reason, he plunges deep into the heart of a new kingdom to uncover Uhtred’s secrets in the mysterious Red Temple in London, find how to use them against him… and not fall for the Heathen King's charms in the process.
