War Lord

After years of fighting to reclaim his rightful home, Uhtred of Bebbanburg has returned to Northumbria.  With his loyal band of warriors and a new woman by his side, his household is secure-yet Uhtred is far from safe.  Beyond the walls of his impregnable fortress, a battle for power rages.  To the south, King Aethelstan has unified the three kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, and Constantine and other Scottish and Irish Leaders seek to extend their borders and expand their dominions.

Caught in the eye of the storm is Uhtred.  He faces an impossible choice: stay out of the struggle, risking his freedom, or throw himself into the cauldron of war and the most terrible battle Britain has ever experienced.  Only fate can decide the outcome.
