The Blurb:
Every story has a beginning.
Leofwine has convinced his king to finally face his enemies in battle and won a
great victory, but in the meantime, events have spiralled out of control
elsewhere.
With the death of Olaf Tryggvason of Norway, England has lost an ally, and Leofwine
has gained an enemy. And not just any enemy. Swein is the king of Denmark, and
he has powerful resources at his fingertips.
In a unique position with the king, Leofwine is either honoured or
disrespected. Yet, it is to Leofwine that the king turns to when an audacious
attack is launched against the king’s mother and his children. But Leofwine’s
successes only bring him more under the scrutiny of King Swein of Denmark, and
his own enemies at the king’s court.
With an increase in Raider attacks, it is to Leofwine that the king turns once
more. However, the king has grown impatient with his ealdorman, blaming him for
Swein’s close scrutiny of the whole of England. Can Leofwine win another
victory for his king, or does he risk losing all that he’s gained?
The Danish King’s Enemy is the second book in the epic Earls of Mercia series
charting the last century of Early England, as seen through the eyes of
Ealdorman Leofwine, the father of Earl Leofric, later the Earl of Mercia, and
ally of Lady Elfrida, England’s first queen.
