Opening with The Pagan Lord, an outcast Uhtred is forced back into the fray to defend his name and his claim on Bebbanburg. The Empty Throne finds Mercia's leadership vacant and rival factions circling, while Warriors of the Storm sees a fragile peace crumble as Vikings and ambitious nobles test Wessex's borders.
