Lord Uhtred is a brilliant character; an ultimate sword warrior and battle lord, who can be ruthless (hates priests), but has a sense of honour and loyalty. Whether the manipulative and pious King Alfred deserves his loyalty is another question. In this book the Danes (his old adversary, Haesten) seek to trick Uhtred, praying on his pagan beliefs. And the two new Danish Jarls (brothers) make interesting characters.

The real bonding between Lord Uhtred and Lady AEthelflaed (King Alfred's daughter, married to a cowardly, abusive ass) is just starting to bloom in this book. Uhtred's old adversary Jarl Haesten is a slimey piece of work. And the two brothers Jarl's Sigefrid and Erik couldn't be much more diverse. Need to get more reading time back! A really interesting era in English history.
