About The Flame Bearer

A truce between Northumbria’s Viking ruler and Mercia’s Saxon queen gives Uhtred a chance to reclaim Bebbanburg from the relatives who stole it. But new threats, including Constantin of Scotland, threaten to ignite Britain’s uneasy peace. Uhtred must fight both old enemies and new powers for his birthright.
