'Alfred of Wessex, Book One: Inheritance' is the story of the youngest brother of the Kings of Anglo-Saxon Wessex, who centuries later would be known as ‘Alfred the Great’.

Alfred of Wessex is historical fiction but is firmly based around real events in Anglo-Saxon Wessex during the 9th century viking wars.

The Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria and East Anglia face a gathering storm of Danes threatening destruction and occupation. Amongst all this, the Kingdom of Wessex is split by rivalries. Powerful voices back King Alfred’s nephews as future Kings and not a young Alfred.

And then the Danes invade.
