Uhtred’s attempt to recover his Northumbrian inheritance begins with an attack on Bebbanburg that ends in failure and personal loss. Branded an enemy by Christian rulers, he moves through Mercia and the Danelaw while Danish armies prepare a major assault on the Saxon kingdoms.
The campaign culminates in a battle that tests the alliance between Wessex and Mercia. Uhtred must protect Alfred’s descendants even as he remains determined to escape their service and return north.
