The residents of a once-prosperous kingdom and the mythological creatures they had tamed set out to wipe off one family in particular.

Yet the Auclair insisted they were the ones with no wrongdoing. Can families in Hvalba ever again live in peace and prosperity if they are all keeping secrets from one another?

Uhtred had watched the attack, thinking only Thyra had survived, by being kidnapped. But little did he know that his youngest sister was running past him in the forest, desperate to get away. And she did. But the next part of her life was even worse, more traumatic than watching her family die before her eyes. Years later, Bemia had created a name for herself, created a reputation that was feared by most Danes and Saxons. Then she had finally found her brother again, and also a young warrior who she never thought she would fall for. -- Sihtric x fem OC! #1 thelastkingdom 30/06/2024 #1 finan 05/07/2024 #1 osferth 05/07/2024 #1 sihtrickjartansson 05/07/2024 #1 uhtred 05/07/2024 #1 sihtric 07/07/2024

"You are a lady," Finan repeated again, a frown forming on his lips. "And I am no lord." He pulled away from her again, brushing past her to occupy himself with looking at the well that was in the center of the courtyard. "You do not need to be a lord for me to love you." ----------------------- Eawynn of Mercia, daughter of disgraced Lord Alfric, finds herself holed away in a nunnery with Gisela - Uhtred of Bebbanburg's future wife.
