Abomination grabs you and doesn't let go.' Hugh Howey, New York Times-Bestselling Author of Wool He is England's greatest knight, the man who saved the life of Alfred the Great and an entire kingdom from a Viking invasion. Screenwriter Whitta’s pacing is superb and more than makes up for any sacrifices to character development as he takes readers on a tense, nail-biting ride. Gary Whitta is a the former Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer magazine and an award-winning screenwriter best known for the post-apocalyptic thriller 'The Book of Eli' starring Denzel Washington. ![]() The results are bone-chillingly macabre, leading Alfred’s most trusted knight, Wulfric-a wildly conflicted pacifist-to abandon his idyllic postwar life and fight the uncontrollable evil that a coldly obsessed and maniacal Aethelred has unleashed. But grumblings from the Danes have the wary king on edge, and when a cache of ancient spells is discovered, he grudgingly allows his archbishop, Aethelred, to study them as a means of raising an unholy defense. In 888 C.E., after nearly 100 years of bloody battles with invading Norsemen, Alfred, England’s last remaining king, has finally established an uneasy peace.
