麻豆社

Beocca alone has seen Uhtred grow from boy to man and knows his true birth-right. Pious and devout, but with a wry sense of humour, Beocca is both a quick thinker and a brave disciple of Alfred’s cause. Ever hopeful of turning stubborn Uhtred from his pagan ways, Beocca maintains a strong paternal affection for his wayward charge. Uhtred is in some ways the closest thing Beocca has to family, but an act of compassion could lead him to find love in the most unexpected of circumstances.
