Alfred the Great Books in Order

As the Great Heathen Army advances through Britain, young Alfred of Wessex gains his first experience of battle and leadership. Viking invasion threatens whole kingdoms, forcing an inexperienced warrior toward the responsibilities that will define his future.

Driven into the marshes by Danish victories, King Alfred gathers allies and prepares a counterattack against Guthrum. The fate of Wessex and its people depends on whether he can rebuild his strength and overcome the seemingly dominant invaders.

An aging Alfred seeks to secure Wessex and the future of his descendants after years of war. The arrival of the ambitious Viking Haesten threatens that hard-won stability and puts the king’s hopes for a united people at risk.
