A City Not Forsaken: A Novel of Alfred's Daughter

878 A.D. On a marshy island, the king of Wessex is in hiding. His young daughter, Aethelflaed, is watching his every move.

For almost a hundred years, Vikings have terrorized England's four kingdoms, devouring lands like a hungry wolf. The kingdom of Wessex is the last to stand - that is, until the Vikings are at their doorstep.

Aethelflaed, the daughter of King Alfred, flees with her family into the swampy marshes of Somerset. There, they stay hidden until they can plot to win their kingdom back. But the Vikings are ravaging Wessex, and all the men who could help to fight back have surrendered their heathen conquerors.

Alfred must act quickly to save his kingdom. Aethelflaed, the young princess, is frustrated and helpless. The only thing she has to offer is her prayers. As they rush to strike the Vikings before the location of their marshy exile is detected, she discovers that her prayers might have more power than she thinks.

The kingdom of Wessex is at stake. For the young girl Aethelflaed, who hopelessly watches the war unfold, a destiny has been set in motion. After a century of defeat, will God help them now?
