When King Æthelred II dies, his son Edmund Ironside inherits a kingdom already threatened by the Danish conqueror Cnut. As England is torn apart by war, Edmund and Cnut face one another not only on the battlefield, but in a struggle of strategy, pride, and political will.
After a series of brutal battles, Edmund proposes an unlikely solution: they will share the
kingdom, with the survivor ultimately claiming the crown. But peace proves fragile. As loyalties shift and betrayal takes root within Edmund’s own court, the young king discovers that the greatest threat to his crown may not be the enemy standing across the battlefield, but the man
standing beside him.
