"This is a great book. The 2nd in the series and a must-read. The book is full of action, blood & guts, right from the start. Lord (king) Ceolwulf with his faithful men, Edmund, Pybba, Rudolf, Icel, and Hereman to name a few, embroiled in a war to free Mercia from the grip of the Raiders. 

The book flows and continues on from Book 1 with the battle outside of Repton. Having rallied the leading Earls & Bishops troops to his cause Ceolwulf gains his victory but before he and his loyal men can relax they must chase down the fleeing Raiders. Still strong in numbers 

The Last Warrior is a great look at the Anglo Saxon kingdom of Mercia with Ceolwulf at the head. The last descendant of the old ruling family of the Hwicce Tribe.

Ceolwulf is a true warrior, skillful & fierce with a small loyal band. You will stand side by side with these men in the bloody gore of battle, shield touching shield stabbing, thrusting, pushing, kicking, drenched in the blood of your enemies, metal striking the wooden shields, and your seax striking the enemy down. You will be one of the few overcoming the many as you fight and follow a true king, a strong king ..... Ceolwulf The Last Warrior. 

I have read other books by MJ Porter but this new series for me outshines her previous works.
