From author MJ Porter comes a thrilling new hero


The Last Enemy

Mercia lies broken but not beaten, her alliance with Wessex in tatters, her new king a warrior, not a ruler. And
Coelwulf has done little but fight against overwhelming numbers since being declared Mercia’s king, and it’s far from over.

Northampton is secure, but the Viking raiders persist in infiltrating Mercia. Coelwulf has enticed them away from their stronghold at Grantabridge, and now he must rout the Danish Jarl, Guthrum, once and for all.

The year is AD874, and Mercia lies threatened, but Coelwulf and his loyal warriors have vowed to protect Mercia with their lives.

The Last Sword

The three defeated jarls of Grantabridge might be hiding behind the walls of their settlement as winter storms ravage, but the weather is no deterrent for another adversary, and
Coelwulf holds a far more personal grudge against Jarl Halfdan.

King Alfred hovers on the border with Wessex, his intentions impossible to determine; his relationship with the Viking raiders, problematic. Exposed to the south, in jeopardy from the north,
Coelwulf hasn’t fought his last battle yet.

The Last Shield

Summoned back to Worcester by Bishop Wærferth, Coelwulf discovers that
an old enemy has resurfaced on the border with the Welsh, but this time, an enemy demanding help.

Aware he can’t leave Mercia, Coelwulf must split his force, determined that his old enemy is more helpful as his ally.

But beset by an unexpected force of Viking raiders inside Mercia,
Coelwulf and his small band of warriors find themselves trapped by winter storms, as well as Viking raiders who don’t yet know of Jarl Halfdan’s death and still hunger for Coelwulf’s blood.

Coelwulf faces his most difficult struggle of all as he fights for the future of his beloved Mercian kingdom, his warriors, old and new, at his side.
