About Sword of Kings
As King Edward fades, rival heirs threaten the fragile union of Wessex and Mercia. Uhtred would rather guard independent Northumbria, but an oath to Aethelstan and attacks from royal factions pull him into the succession struggle. His small war-band rides toward a battle for kingship.
