Description
Edgar Atheling's quest for glory becomes an all-consuming force as he battles to reclaim his lost throne in 11th-century England. After surviving an attempt on his life, Edgar prepares to face the Norman conquerors head-on, but his plans are shattered when his fleet is shipwrecked and his friends are captured. With his back against the wall, Edgar makes a choice that will determine the course of his life: he submits to William, the Norman king, and accepts a meager reward. Though he refuses to support the ill-fated Revolt of the Earls, Edgar's desire for glory remains unquenched. As his wealth dwindles and those closest to him are torn apart by conflicting loyalties, Edgar must confront the doubts that have been growing within him. When news reaches him that his old friend Cnut, King of the Danes, plans to invade England, Edgar seizes the opportunity to strike back. Though the invasion ultimately fails, Edgar's resolve is unbroken. In a momentous decision, he sets in motion a chain of events that will change his life - and those of those around him - forever.
