But, when King Edward (Timothy Innes, "Harlots") dies, the peace is threatened once again as his two potential heirs, Aethelstan (Harry Gilby, "Tolk- ien," 2019) and Aelfweard (Ewan Horrocks, "Domina"), battle to claim the crown. Faced with dif- ficult decisions about the future of the country, Uhtred and his cohort embark on a journey across the country in the hopes of uniting England at last.
