Hi. I’ve just finished reading The Lords of the North and was horrified to find that it didn’t contain the first chapter of the next book in the series. I immediately thought that the story of Uhtred had been brought to a premature end, or put on hold for the foreseeable future. A look through the section ‘Questions that may not be frequently asked’ cheered me up no end as it appears that the next instalment is scheduled for release in October this year. Thank heavens for that. The Saxon Stories are fantastic.
