Lords of Iron
During Britannia’s tribal age, vengeance is brutal, bloody and will come for even those who think themselves invincible.
Britain AD541
Family feuds must be settled, whatever the cost. Both Seeress Meddi of the Eorlingas and Wærmund of the Gyrwe have old scores to settle. Meddi for her tribe to survive and thrive, and Waermund to cast himself from his father’s shadow once and for all.
But unbeknownst, Meddi and Wærmund share a common enemy who threatens them both – the elusive Elen and her ally is someone Wærmund has travelled the breadth of Britannia to outrun.
United in their hatred of Elen, Meddi and Waermund must defeat powerful enemies with the sharpest blades and the magik of iron to overawe them and gain much-needed vengeance for past wrongs inflicted against them.
In the stunning conclusion to the Dark Age Chronicles Meddi and Wærmund will finally collide in a world of iron and rust. Will they triumph or will their legacy be nothing but ash?

| my thoughts |
An exciting finale to what has been a good series. Sometimes by a third book the interest for the reader starts to fade, and the writer, running out of ideas, becomes repetitive, the shine fades and the pace slows...not so for this author however! If anything, the pace picks up from the previous steady canter to a fast gallop!
The characters are believable, the setting too. Even though very little is factually known about this period, the author creates a sense of factual reality, cleverly intertwined into the imagined fiction. As a horse-owner, I was pleased that M.J. Porter also writes about the horses very well - something which, sadly, all too many authors get wrong, and which completely spoils a novel.
The events from the previous two books are skilfully drawn together to tie off any loose ends, and to satisfyingly conclude the overall story which adequately reflects the lives - sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyfull, tragic or inspiring of the characters we came to know - and in many cases, admire and even love.
Recommended.
