Publisher's Synopsis
From author MJ Porter comes a thrilling new hero.
Unwilling but honour-bound to meet King Alfred of Wessex, Coelwulf journeys south. The man Coelwulf encounters is everything he fears. Alfred is no warrior of Wessex.
As the Grantabridge jarls gather at Wareham, Coelwulf and his warriors are faced with a crucial choice. Should they come to the aid of their southern neighbours or risk the return of Viking raiders to Mercia when the West Saxon forces falter under the enemy's onslaught once more?
To save their kingdom, they might first have to rescue that of their longest enemy, the West Saxons, and their inept king. The future of Mercia remains at stake, but her warriors will defend her with their last breaths.
