Synopsis

The year is AD655.With allies in every kingdom, the great warrior king, Penda of Mercia, stands in a position of power throughout Britain.
Just one kingdom stands aloof, that of Bernicia to the north. Ruled by King Oswiu, the brother of the long-dead King Oswald of Northumbria, Oswiu schemes for a unified kingdom of Northumbria, despite Penda’s desire to truncate those wishes.As Penda and Oswiu align themselves for one more final battle of survival and supremacy, alliances will be made and broken, and the victory will go to the man most skilled in warcraft and statecraft. Or will it?
The ebb and flow of battle will once more redraw the lines of the petty kingdoms stretching across the British Isles.
Praise for Pagan Warrior"M. J. Porter has written a story of one battle – Haedfeld – which will change the face of England. And written it very well indeed, for the dialogue is sharp and whilst the day-to-day descriptions are fairly sparse, the telling of the battle is gripping." HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW

Goodreads review by Meredith on October 25, 2016

Very disappointed that this series is over. I was completely immersed in the story of Penda and Paeda. The only complaint I have is that there were quite a lot of grammatical errors which kept distracting me.......more
