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

Wessex is under threat of invasion from the Danes and is divided by rivalries.

A young Alfred is thrust into the midst of war and intrigue.

Alfred of Wessex is based around real historical events during the defence of Anglo-Saxon Wessex, as viking raids turned into full-scale invasion by the pagan Danes.

In 'Inheritance', the first novel in the series, the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria and East Anglia face a gathering storm of Danes threatening destruction and occupation.
