King of the Anglo Saxons (Book #4 Sons of Kings) by Millie Thom

 This is the last installment of the Sons of Kings series and I must admit, I’m going to miss this story line. Book four has the twelve years of relative peace come to an end as the Danes once again set their sights on the rich plunder of England. But in that time, King Alfred has been busy preparing for such a time.

Reading any of Thom’s books is like stepping back into the mist of time. You can hear the cries of the wounded and the clash of sword on shields. Meticulously researched, the story of England’s birth is told in a fast-paced thrilling tale. Fans of Vikings or The Last Kingdom would fall in love with this winning representation of the formation of an Empire.
