The crown was never his ambition. But Mercia's survival is. The Vikings have been routed from Torksey — dead or fled — but victory brings no peace. Mercia lies broken, her alliance with Wessex in tatters, her new king a warrior thrust unwillingly beneath the king's warrior helm. And even as Coelwulf endures his coronation, demanded by bishops and ealdormen alike, stirrings from the east warn that the fight is far from over. Once more, he must ride the trackways of Mercia — to every shadow where Viking raiders seek to fracture the kingdom he has bled to keep whole. He has already paid in the lives of beloved friends. He will not stop now. AD874. Mercia is threatened. But Coelwulf and his warriors have made their vow to protect her. They're not about to break it
