In An Epic Tale Of Invasions, Raids, And Brutal Battles, The Kingdom Of Mercia Is Born. Perfect For Fans Of Simon Scarrow, Griff Hosker, And Matthew Harffy.

More than a year has passed since the English crossed the German Sea to settle the island of Britain. Secure now in their Anglian fastness, their gaze turns to the West.

But other kingdoms also covet the middle lands.

Sweeping down from the western hills, Cynlas Goch and his army of Powys lay waste the valley of the River Trenta, burning, killing and enslaving as they go.

Heavily outnumbered but trusting to their valour, can Eofer king's bane and his war band slow the onslaught, until the English and their allies wrest a final victory from the ashes of defeat?

The Scathing is the third book in the Bestselling King's Bane series, the genesis of England.
