Beschreibung
'Truly compelling' Sunday Times. The year is 1016 and England burns, while the advancing Viking armies blockade the great city of London. King Ethelred lies dying and the England he knew dies with him. One man lives to bear witness to the upheaval: Godwin, barely out of boyhood and destined to become one of his country's great warriors. With epic courage and ferocity, Godwin and Ethelred's son Edmund repel the butchering Danes in three great battles. But an old enemy, the treacherous Earl Eadric, dogs Godwin's footsteps, and as the final battle approaches, around the valiant English the trap begins to close. Vivid and tense, Justin Hill's Shield Wall. is a thrilling tale of tragedy, courage and adventure. 'Inspired. With wonderful, poetic passages, Hill reaches beyond the limits of the genre and. harks back to the halls of our Saxon forebears in those dark days' Ian Mortimer,. Guardian. 'Written in supple, intelligent prose. Shieldwall is a vivid historical novel. Entirely convincing' Nick Rennison, Sunday Times.
