WAR OF THE WOLF

Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg knows that peace is far from reach. Although he has won the battle for his ancestral home, rebellion looms in Mercia and invading Norsemen appear at every turn. With the country in turmoil, he comes face to face with King Skoll, a violent Norseman leading an army of ulfhedinn, or wolf warriors, hellbent on seizing a kingdom, and killing any in his path. Surrounded and outnumbered by new enemies, Uhtred must call on all his skill and courage to survive and prevent his beloved Northumbria from falling to the Viking hordes. He is a leader, warrior and rebel. 384pp, paperback.
