A peace that must be defended. A vow that must be broken.

It is the final decade of the ninth century. The Peace between Wessex and the Danes long-settled in the Danelaw erodes. A new onslaught of Danes attacks Angle-land, trying once and for all to destroy ælfred. Ceric of Kilton, now a young man, travels across Kingdoms to visit his friend, Hrald of Four Stones - and to see Ashild, whom he desires for his wife. But renewed hostilities threaten Ceric's hopes for deeper ties between strongholds.

And hundreds of leagues away on the Baltic island of Gotland, Hrald's father, Sidroc the Dane, must defy his Gods. The revered Hammer of Thor. The sacred Cross of the Christians. And the conflict that pits two beliefs, two great war-chiefs, and three young people against each other. A new generation beckons you....

Addictive story line

Well written historical fiction that grips from book one on. I’m looking forward to book 7!!

Love Love Love

That is an absolutely amazing series I just hate that it had to end. I recommend it to anyone who loves history,adventure and Love.

More adventures…

What can I say, I love the young people in this book so much: Ceric, Harald and his sister Achield. Sp? I have listened to all 6 of these books for the past week and never has a book series captured my attention since Bernard Cornwall’s Saxon Stories known as The Last Kingdom on television. However, I so appreciate Randolph’s feminine gaze that touches me deeply. Ever since I was a wee girl, the history of the Angle-Saxons, Celts, Danes and the Norse have always captivated my imagination and after after a DNA test, I find that my DNA is Scottish, English, Norse and Swedish-Danish. I wonder how much my blood has been calling me to the land of all my ancestors. Until then, I will continue with the next Saga of the Circle of Ceridwen. Thank you Octavia Randolph for sharing with us readers your amazing talent.

Strong women, family ties, battle scenes

I liked everything about this book. I couldn't stop listening! The story, the writing and the audio performance combined to make it very compelling. I liked the thread of strong family ties that allow for individuality without judgement. The battle scenes are some of the best in historical fiction, and some of them even involve strong women. I can identify with a woman who rides a horse well, sews the battle flag, fights and wins a battle, and then gets dressed up for the victory banquet, too.
