Bloodaxe: The Demise of Saxon Wessex (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781914407963)

This is the third book in the author's Kings of Wessex trilogy. Bloodaxe is a historical novel which examines, through story, the events and chief characters of the mid to late tenth century in England, interpreting original, secondary and academic sources. Glastonbury, Wells, Shaftesbury, Frome and Bath feature as backdrops. As the crucial millennium approaches, disaster looms during the reign of Aethelred the Unready. Is God on his, or Swein's, side? The political and religious drama of the tenth century makes good fiction and it's actually true.
