   Summary

   Uhtred does not know, has never known, how to fight this threat that is neither wolf nor blade nor man. Alfred is all of them at once, a statue that refuses to bleed.

   ‘Who do you serve?’ Alfred asks, hardly above a whisper. ‘Do you serve me, Uhtred Ragnarsson?’

   --

   Uhtred does not know when Alfred became the ghost haunting his shadow.
