A young Saxon boy rises from exile to stand beside Alfred the Great in the struggle to save England from Viking conquest.
When the Danes sweep across England, leaving destruction in their wake, young Edmund is forced to flee his home and begin a journey that will test his courage, loyalty, and resolve. As kingdoms fall and alliances shift, he finds himself drawn into the service of Alfred the Great, one of history's most determined and visionary leaders.
Through hardship, battle, and moments of quiet endurance, Edmund grows from a displaced boy into a capable young warrior, learning the values of leadership, discipline, and honor. From secret strongholds in the marshes to decisive clashes against Viking forces, his story unfolds alongside one of the most critical periods in early English history.
Blending historical detail with fast-moving adventure, The Dragon and the Raven offers an engaging introduction to the Viking invasions of England and the life of Alfred the Great, making it a lasting favorite for young readers and students of history.
