The first book in the Gods and Kings trilogy - from bestselling author MJ Porter.
Britain. AD632. A kingdom hangs by a blade.
Penda of Mercia is a warrior without equal - battle-hardened, fearless, and hungry to prove himself. His father is dead. His kingdom is threatened. And the powerful king of Northumbria is circling, ready to swallow Mercia whole.
To survive, Penda must do the unthinkable: forge an alliance with the British kings, old enemies of the Saxons, and march to war against a Northumbrian force that should be unbeatable.
But treachery may be closer than the enemy. His own brother's loyalty is uncertain. And glory on the battlefield is never guaranteed.
At H ðfeld, everything will be decided.
One man will rise. One will fall. And a pagan king will be born from the blood and fire of conquest.
Pagan Warrior is the first book in the action-packed Gods and Kings trilogy, introducing the legendary Penda of Mercia.
Praise for Pagan Warrior'MJ 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
'MJ Porter brings the period to life that you feel you are really part of the story.' Amazon Reviewer
'First class story combining historical facts and fiction well in a wonderful novel.' Amazon Reviewer
