The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles, a brand-new series from bestselling author MJ Porter, is set in the perilous kingdom of Mercia in AD825. The kingdom has been torn apart by years of bitter in-fighting between the nobles and cross-border wars, leaving it exposed to its enemies. King Ecgberht of Wessex, sensing an opportunity for revenge, prepares to strike against Mercia. Meanwhile, King Wiglaf, who has claimed his right to rule Mercia, faces the daunting task of uniting a disparate kingdom against the mighty Wessex, who are thirsting for blood and land.

Can King Wiglaf keep the dragons at bay and prevent Mercia from disappearing beneath the wings of the Wessex wyvern? Can anyone save Mercia from destruction?

The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles is an action-packed, thrilling historical adventure that will appeal to fans of Bernard Cornwell and Matthew Harffy. The book follows the journey of a reluctant hero, Beornwulf, as he comes of age in a realm riven by chaos and conflict. Porter's writing is immediate and personal, recounting the hero's coming-of-age within a Dark Age realm.

The book is praised for its realistic portrayal of Dark Age warfare and its exploration of hidden agendas and betrayal. The characters are well-developed, with their own agendas and motivations, making for a compelling and exciting story. Readers have described the book as a "page-turner" and "refreshing," with one reviewer saying they felt they were there.

In conclusion, The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and adventure. With its compelling characters, action-packed plot, and realistic portrayal of the Dark Age, the book is sure to keep readers engaged and entertained from start to finish.
