Summary
"You are still in a coma, still recovering from the injury that nearly killed you." The shadow man answers.
The man blinks and tilts his head. He doesn't think he remembers that. He doesn't remember anything really. He remembers being with Uhtred. He remembers waking up with the younger man in his arms. They might have been preparing for a battle. It seems they always were. But which one or where it was what happened escapes him. He can't remember anything between waking up with Uhtred to opening his eyes on the boat. "What happened?"
The shadow man shakes his head and turns away again. He doesn't answer.
The man scoffs and shakes his head. "You'll tell me I'm in a coma and that Uhtred needs rescuing but you won't tell me how I died?"
The shadow man turns back to him, tilting his head. "Will that sway your decision?" He asks, his voice sounding genuinely curious.
The man pauses. "What decision?"
"Whether you will fight or let yourself die." The shadow man answers.
The man clenches his jaw and shakes his head. "No." He answers flatly. "It won't. I will always fight for Uhtred. He needs me and I will keep fighting. I will save him."

Summary
He walked to the tomb of that pious man, slowly, discreetly, and when he finally stood by it he laughed, laughed at the artisans in Wessex for their inability to capture the demeanour of their deceased king.
The effigy on the tomb looked nothing like him.
The crown still laid upon its head, the owner of it dressing in a plain white robe, hands resting upon its chest, forming the hands of prayer—devout, but not like him.
Your people really don’t know much about you, Lord king.

Summary
Uthred’s breath nearly catches when he sees the king, from sheer relief that he was alive and walking. He looked more vulnerable than Uthred could ever recall seeing him - his small frame emphasized by the two Danes flanking him, his eyes bloodshot and rimmed red.
“As you can see, Uthred, the king is alive and well!” said Sigefried triumphantly. “The question is, do you want him to remain so?”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alfred is kidnapped during the siege of Lunden. As a hostage, he finds himself sinking to new lows in order to earn his freedom. Sigefried and Erik will not easily give up a prize as great as the King of Wessex, and Uthred finds himself having unexpectedly high personal stakes in the king's rescue.

Summary
Northern Ireland, Modern Day
When American tourist Isla visits a quaint shop of curiosities in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, she is not sure what she's looking for, only that it is something special, unique and preferably ancient. Because her job is literally restoring old items from antiquity, she knows a thing or two about old stuff, and figures that when she finds what she is looking for, she will recognize it. What she actually finds is something beyond her wildest dreams, something that smacks of destiny in a way that she cannot really put her finger on. What happens next though, was definitely not in the brochure...
Dunholm, Northumbria, 886
It has been three years since Finan, along with Lord Uhtred, were saved from Master Sverri's slave ship by Ragnar. The last few years of peace have been good to Finan overall, and all outward signs of his ordeal have long ago faded. But the past still haunts the Irish warrior's dreams, and despite his new friends and comrades, his new life in Coccham, and much silver and reputation, there is an emptiness inside of him that nothing seems to fill. At least, until he saves a mysterious woman who needs his help...
Begins approximately in the middle of S2.
