Publisher Description

MJ Porter's epic bestselling adventure 'The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles' continue at pace...

A mercy mission in the heart of Wessex is beset with deadly, bloody dangers.

Tamworth AD831

Icel's profile continues to rise. Lord of Budworth and warrior of Mercia, he's acknowledged by King Wiglaf and his comrades to keep Mercia safe from the ravages of Wessex, the king-slayer of the East Angles, and the Viking raiders.

But, danger looms. Alongside Spring's arrival comes the almost certain threat of the Viking raiders return.

When Lord Coenwulf of Kingsholm is apprehended by a Viking and held captive on the Isle of Sheppey in Wessex held Kent, Icel is implored by Lady Cynehild to rescue her husband.

To rescue Lord Coenwulf, Icel and his fellow warriors must risk themselves twice over, for not only must they overpower the Viking raiders, they must also counter the threat of Mercia’s ancient enemy, the kingdom of Wessex as they travel through their lands.

An action packed, thrilling historical adventure perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell and Matthew Harffy
