Alfric of Mercia is a conniving ealdorman determined to maintain his place among the Anglo-Saxons, even though he has just betrayed them to Viking invaders. Golde is a maid who was wise enough to run away from Alfric many years ago, but now finds him begging for help on her doorstep. Her son, Eadric, is a young boy who has never known the identy of his father and now finds himself drawn to the regal visitor.
"The Lost Tales of Mercia" are ten short tales that can be enjoyed as quick glimpses into the swashbuckling history of ancient England or read alongside the full-length novel, "Eadric the Grasper." Most of the characters are real historical figures inspired by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles.
