Bron, an enslaved young Saxon, does the hard work that his master (the village blacksmith) would rather avoid. His reward is a lack of food and cruel jeers from other, non enslaved children in the village.
But, unbeknown to all, war is brewing ... And when a famous Saxon warlord comes to his village Bron gets a chance to prove that honour and bravery are not only for those who are free...
A tale of friendship and the desire to belong, this adventure resonates with all children and immerses readers in the Anglo-Saxon era, with plenty of detail about the myths and culture of that time.

"A tour de force of accurate history and epic adventure scenes, this is a really great book for Year 5 and 6 children." --The School Run website
“This is an excellently written narrative that really evokes the period, bringing the reader an excellent cast of characters to relish. The historical background is authentic, and the excitement of the period is conveyed really well, to draw in the reader.”

"This engaging historical novel is the story of Bron, enslaved to a cruel and drunken blacksmith, who gains his freedom and wins the respect of the warriors he joins through his bravery and loyalty…The landscape of villages, farms and dangers for travellers is realistically drawn, and the mythology of the time is deftly conjured …a rewarding read.”
