Mr. Cornwell,

I very much enjoyed the series, but one thing that perplexed and disappointed me was that Uhtred’s patron(ess) disappears without a trace somewhere in the middle of the series and we never learn how he makes it to the monastery(?) where he presumably spends his final days, or at last writes his memoirs.  Why did you decide to abruptly terminate the frame story, if I may ask?
