hi its me Mike Powers again have jut rented all of Tom Hookton adventures including his recent one . I have only two question this time and that is in the next book do you give some background on Uhtred’s  upsurping uncle ? i say this because I would really like to know the background story on Elfric and Uhtred’s father and,the dynamic between the two ,because as readers we are in the dark along with Uhred about his birth family . Also i would like to know what he would try to do now that his time is growing short and his  nephew the proclaimed  sword of the saxons is alive and slowly moving north to threaten his sons inheritance . I don’t think from what little we know of him and what we do know about his nephew  that  swearing allegiance to eadlorman Uhtred of northumbria will be a viable option.
