There are two potential heirs-possibly more-and doubt over whether the once separate states of Wessex and Mercia will hold together . Despite attempts at pulling him into the political fray, Uhtred of Bebbanburg cares solely about his beloved Northumbria and its continuing independence from southern control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut an oath is a strong, almost sacred commitment and such a promise had been exchanged between Uhtred and Aethelstan, his onetime companion in arms and now a potential king. Uhtred was tempted to ignore the demands of the oath and stay in his northern fastness, leaving the quarrelling Anglo-Saxons to sort out their own issues.  But an attack on him by a leading supporter of one of the candidates and an unexpected appeal for help from another, drives Uhtred with a small band of warriors south, into the battle for kingship-and England's fate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49375456526640,"sku":"BDd9hp","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49375456559408,"sku":"11d9hp","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [10]","offer_id":49375456592176,"sku":"10d9hp","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/d9hp-Square-cover.jpg?v=1777058873","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-d9hp","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
