Synopsis

From bestselling author MJ Porter comes a thrilling new hero.

The fourth book in the bloody and brutal action-packed historical fiction series from MJ Porter

Mercia lies broken but not beaten, her alliance with Wessex in tatters, her new king a warrior, not a ruler. And Coelwulf has done little but fight against overwhelming numbers since being declared Mercia’s king, and it’s far from over.

Northampton is secure, but the Raiders persist in infiltrating Mercia. Coelwulf has enticed them away from their stronghold at Grantabridge, and now he must rout the Danish Jarl, Guthrum, once and for all.

The year is AD874, and Mercia lies threatened, but Coelwulf and his loyal warriors have vowed to protect Mercia with their lives.
