The Martyr’s Victory: A Tale of Danish England is a historical fiction novel written by Emma Leslie and published in 1886. The story is set in England during the time of the Danish invasions in the 9th century. The main character, Edmund, is a young Saxon prince who becomes a Christian and is eventually martyred for his faith. The novel follows his journey as he navigates the complex political and religious landscape of the time, facing challenges and persecution from both the Danes and his own people. Along the way, he forms relationships with other characters, including a Danish warrior who becomes his friend and a Saxon girl who he falls in love with. The novel explores themes of faith, loyalty, and sacrifice, as well as the clash of cultures between the Saxons and the Danes. The Martyr’s Victory is a well-researched and engaging work of historical fiction that provides a vivid portrayal of life in 9th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
