About The Abbot's Tale by Conn Iggulden

Set in 937, Conn Iggulden’s historical novel follows Dunstan, a priest from Glastonbury whose ambitions and abilities carry him from Wessex to the royal court and, later, Rome. England’s new king, a grandson of Alfred the Great, prepares to fight in the north as he seeks to unite the country.
