(4) YA Æthelflæd, daughter of the medieval West Saxon King Alfred, is distraught when she discovers that she will be married to her father's ally, Ethelred of Mercia. But on the journey to Mercia, Alfred's enemies, the Danes, attempt to capture Flæd. With wit and courage, she fights the enemy, finishes the journey, and saves her kingdom. Though long-winded in parts, Tingle's complicated plot is engaging.
