The Pagan Lord

Uhtred – sword of the Saxons, bane of the Vikings – has been declared outcast. Peace in Britain has given Uhtred time to cause trouble for himself. Branded a pagan abomination by the church, he sails north. Despite suspecting that Viking leader Cnut Longsword will attack the Saxons again, Uhtred is heading for Bebbanburg, fearing that if he does not act now he will never reclaim his stolen birthright. Yet Uhtred’s fate is bound to the Saxons, to Aethelflaed, bright lady of Mercia, and to a dead king’s dream of England. Great battles must still be fought – and no man is better at that than Uhtred.

Warriors of the Storm

A fragile peace is about to be broken… King Alfred’s son Edward and formidable daughter, Æthelflaed, rule Wessex, Mercia, and East Anglia. But the restless Northmen, eyeing the rich lands and wealthy churches, are mounting raids. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the kingdoms’ greatest warrior, controls northern Mercia from Chester. Forces are rising against him, led by the fierce warrior Ragnall Ivarson, allied with the Northumbrians. Despite the threat, both Edward and Æthelflaed are reluctant to leave their fortifications. With Uhtred’s daughter married to Ivarson’s brother, trust is a rare commodity.

The Flame Bearer

From the day it was stolen from me, I had dreamed of recapturing Bebbanburg. The great fort, built on a rock that was almost an island, could only be approached by a single narrow track – and it was mine. Britain is in uneasy peace. Northumbria’s Viking ruler, Sigtryggr, and Mercia’s Saxon Queen Aethelflaed have agreed a truce. Uhtred finally has the chance to reclaim his home, but fate and old enemies distract him. New foes, including Constantin of Scotland, threaten to turn Britain’s peace into war. Uhtred is determined to reclaim his birthright, but he will need all his skills to succeed.

War Lord

A divided kingdom, an impossible choice, and the ultimate battle await. After a lifetime of fighting, Lord Uhtred is ready to hang up his sword. But with the kingdom divided, peace is fragile, and Uhtred will never be safe in his fortress. As kings grow bloodthirsty for power, history marches towards war. Uhtred must throw himself into the fire. In the most terrible battle Britain has ever seen, with the kingdom’s future at stake, Uhtred takes his stand on one side of the shield wall. Only fate will decide the outcome…
