The Last Enemy
The king's warrior helm was never his ambition. But Mercia's survival is. Coelwulf has done little but fight since the day they declared him king — and the fight is far from over. The Saxon kingdom of Mercia lies broken, her alliance with Wessex in tatters, her king a warrior still learning the weight of the king's warrior helm. Northampton is secure, but the Danish raiders refuse to yield. Now Coelwulf has drawn them from their stronghold at Grantabridge — and he must finish it. Jarl Guthrum will not surrender his hold on Mercia without blood, and Coelwulf has never been afraid to spill it. AD874. The vow holds. The warriors ride. Mercia will not fall while Coelwulf stands as her king
