About this audiobook

Summary

Buried beneath the dead on Senlac ridge, Edwin Ashman crawls from the ruin of King Harold's shield wall into a conquered England. Returning to his father's Lincolnshire estate, he finds Norman knights already claiming his birthright and his father's body swinging from the gate. Forced to build the very castle that will enslave his people, Edwin must choose between rescuing his captured brother and leading a desperate rebellion in the fenlands—two oaths that may destroy each other and everyone he loves.
