From author MJ Porter comes a thrilling new hero for readers of Matthew Harffy and Peter Gibbons.The Viking raiders sent three hundred warriors to kill one man. It was never going to be enough.

The Saxon kingdom of Mercia lies broken but not beaten, her alliance with King Alfred of Wessex in tatters.

Coelwulf, a fierce and bloody warrior with a distant claim to the kingship, hears whispers that Mercia has been betrayed by her feeble king and placed in the hands of his brutal enemy, the Viking raiders. But Coelwulf fears no man, especially not the Viking raiders sent to hunt him down.

To protect his kingdom, Coelwulf must travel to Repton, the heart of the kingdom of Mercia, where the Norse enemy have taken control of the Mercian kings' mausoleum. What he finds there will determine his fate and the future of Mercia.

The Last King is a thrilling historical action and adventure story, fictionalising the life of the last king of the kingdom of Mercia, Coelwulf II.
