Young Matt Batchelor is ambitious but penniless. He is learning so much from his employer, Doctor Erasmus Darwin, but will it be enough? The Doctor's friends in the Lunar Society have made their way to positions of power and influence yet some of them began life as poor men. Matt is determined to follow their example. Just as Matt's fortunes seem to be looking up his African friend Scipio mysteriously disappears. Matt is determined to find him whatever it takes and he and Will Ward from the local newspaper set off on a search that leads them into unexpected danger.

Wulfgar is back in his native Wessex and eager to share the clever ideas he learned while in Corvey, East Francia. He’s not been back long before he gets a jolt: despite what he’s picked up at Corvey Abbey, the plain Scripture is the most important thing of all. And what if people in power would prefer the peasants not to realise they could understand Scripture themselves? Just as he’s beginning to unravel this riddle, he’s caught up in an escapade that is definitely against the law – or is it? It’s an adventure full of danger and excitement with a daring rescue that could go horribly wrong but Wulfgar learns the truth about the Bible and about faith.

Hund, the rescued Wolfhound, is unaccountably injured and something mysterious is devouring all the grass in a riverside hayfield. Wulfgar and Morcant decide to keep watch and find out just what is afoot near the village. It's all bigger than they bargained for - do they tell the Thane or just keep quiet? A clash of loyalties sees Wulfgar deeply involved in something that is far too close to insubordination for an Anglo-Saxon warrior. The Thane is furious but what will happen when the king arrives? Another set of adventures awaits Wulfgar the Saxon in this second book of the series and his loyalty and skill are going to be tested to the utmost. Painstakingly researched, the Wulfgar the Saxon books give an accurate picture of Anglo-Saxon life and how real Christian faith can flourish even in turbulent and dangerous times.
