Pit Of Vipers (Sons Of Kings Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
It was a truly beautiful venue, located in the glorious Vale of White Horse, on the Thames border between Wessex and Mercia. Two miles to the north was the town of Abingdon with its magnificent old abbey, and seven miles to the south-east stood Alfred’s own vill at Wantage. The weather held bright and sunny on the day of the ceremony. A light breeze carried scents of wild garlic from across the Vale, and trees proudly lofted their verdant foliage. Fledgling birds hopped, open-beaked, pursuing overtaxed parents for grubs and seeds, and brightly coloured butterflies fluttered by. After spending what seemed like hours donning his finest clothes and having his thick, wheat-coloured hair suitably trimmed, Alfred headed for the white-stoned church, his grinning brother at his side. There he would make his vows to the woman he had come to love. As he walked, he drank in the fragrance of the June day, thinking of his coming honeymoon. During the few weeks they planned to spend at Wantage, he and Ealhswith could ride out across the Vale, or up the steep, scarp slope of the chalk ridge to the ancient trackway known as the Great Ridgeway, and gallop to their hearts’ content.
