About the series

9th-century England is divided into several kingdoms, constantly caught between internal conflicts and attacks from the Danes. In the middle of this chaos is Uhtred, the son of a Saxon nobleman who is captured by Vikings as a child. Raised among them, he adopts their customs and finds a new family in the people who were once his enemies. But Uhtred’s past never truly lets him go. After a series of tragic events, he is forced to choose between two worlds. By birth, he is a Saxon; by upbringing, he is a Dane. Returning to Saxon lands, Uhtred sets out to reclaim the title and ancestral home taken from him, but achieving his goal means making alliances with people he can barely trust. His fate becomes closely connected with that of King Alfred the Great, who dreams of uniting the divided Saxon kingdoms into one England. While Alfred fights to build a kingdom, Uhtred fights for his own place in the world, facing brutal battles, betrayals, personal losses and dangerous political alliances.
