'Twas the mightiest weapon the eyes of man had ever beheld; its mystic name meant "Ruler of Briton." And from over the Northern Sea came a Viking's thrall-the only man in the world who could wield that fearsome steel-to save good King Alfred and the homeland he scarce remembered. Collecting-for the first time-all 12 stories of the Bretwalda saga. Volume #8 in The Argosy Library.
