Refined and simplified title: The Flame of Resistance

The Battle for England: A Tale of Courage and Resilience

The year is 1066, and the Battle of Hastings has come to a close. King Harold and the majority of England's warriors now lie lifeless on the battlefield, and William, the Duke of Normandy, marches towards London. Refusing to surrender, the English leaders turn to the one person they believe can unite the kingdom against the invaders: Edgar Atheling, the last surviving descendant of Alfred the Great, who is proclaimed the new King of England at the tender age of thirteen.

Burdened with overwhelming hopes and expectations, Edgar leads an English army to confront William in battle. However, when his advisers witness the strength of the Normans, they desert him, and he is captured. On Christmas Day 1066, William the Conqueror is crowned as the new King of England.

Eighteen months later, a bitter nation rises up in resistance to the Norman conquerors, and Edgar escapes captivity to lead the last armies of England in their fight for freedom. Mired in fear and treachery, Edgar begins a lifetime of resistance to the Norman invaders, armed with a fierce intelligence, dauntless courage, and the loyalty of a handful of faithful friends.
