Description
Shieldwall by Justin Hill is set against the backdrop of England's tumultuous 11th-century history. In 1016, the Viking armies blockade London, and King Ethelred lies dying, marking the end of an era. Earl Godwin, barely out of boyhood, finds himself at the forefront of a great change as he becomes right-hand man to Edmund, the new king. Godwin must navigate treacherous landscapes and rally disparate forces against the Viking invader in three epic battles. However, his path is fraught with danger, as an old enemy, Earl Eadric, dogs his footsteps, setting the stage for a final confrontation that will determine the fate of England.
