The Ninth Century #3
The Last Horse
From author MJ Porter comes a thrilling new hero.
The third book in The Ninth Century Series.
The Raiders have been routed from Torksey, dead, or escaped.
Mercia lies broken but not beaten, her alliance with Wessex in tatters, her new king a warrior not a ruler. And as he endures his coronation, as demanded by the bishops and ealdormen, there are stirrings from the east.
Coelwulf must again take to the trackways of Mercia. His destination, any place where the Raiders are trying to infiltrate the kingdom he’s fought so hard to keep whole, losing beloved friends in the process.
The year is AD874 and Mercia lies threatened. But Coelwulf, and his loyal warriors, have vowed to protect Mercia with their lives. They’re not about to stop now.
Praise for The Last King
"A well-written book from start to finish, full of action with lots of strong characters that you soon love. Really, truly loved it. 5 stars from me. Smashed it."
"I feel as though I'm sat astride a horse, sword in hand, screaming like a banshee as I charge."
"Action-packed and hard to put down."
"I really loved this book, great strong central characters that grow on you. Fantastic read, the book had me gripped. Excellent storyline, fast-paced, full of action, bloody action and violence you feel like your stood in the shield walk or charging on a horse with the blood & sweat of man & beast around you as you help battle the impossible odds. The stories main character Coelwulf is a true warrior of royal blood & the only man with the skills & presence to pull the lords of Mercia together. He stands tall with his band of warriors & draws men to him to do battle. A true hero of old." Stacy T Netgalley Reviewer
"To say this book is excellent would be an understatement. it’s a blood and gore fest for any fan of the period." Amazon Reviewer
"The Last King starts with a punchy opening paragraph that instantly draws you into the story. Coelwulf is a fierce and skilful warrior with a formidable band of fighters at his side. Readers are invited to join them in the shield wall and follow them to the last bloody moments of every hectic battle. The Last King is a spirited novel; drenched in gore and positively ringing with the sound of seaxes on shields. This novel suits anyone who prefers a fast-paced tale with plenty of action. If you are a fan of Bernard Cornwell’s Uhtred series then this could help ease the wait till the next instalment." Netgalley Reviewer

About the author
M.J. Porter
111 books256 followersI'm an author of historical fiction (Early English (before 1066)/Viking) and now five 20th-century mysteries..
The Eagle of Mercia Chronicles (featuring a young Icel from The Last King series) is now available from Boldwood Books. As is the complete Brunanburh Series and the first two books in the Dark Age Chronicles, my foray to before Saxon England was Saxon England. Enjoy.
The Ninth Century Series (The Last King), are stories of ninth-century England, but not as it's been written before, (featuring an older Icel and some other familiar faces too).
The Erdington Mysteries now has a third book in the series—The Secret Sauce. (Did you know Erdington would have been in Mercia back in the Saxon period? I know, you can't get me away from the place.) The Barrage Body is coming soon.
The Royal Women Who Made England, my first non-fiction book about the royal women of the tenth century, is available now.
I like to write. You've been warned.

This is my favorite book in this ongoing series so far. Coelwulf needs to accept and get used to his new role and title as Lord King. He is really struggling with it. He feels more warrior than political leader. His friends though know how to bring him down a peg or two.
There’s also more banter between the characters, which helps liven up the tense and gloomy atmosphere within all the many battles in which they fight. The camaraderie between his warriors is growing deeper with each book, and I am here for it.
Lastly, special mention to our favorite horse, Haden, who is so loyal and funny in his own way. I always worry about his well being. Sometimes more than I worry about Coelwulf and his companions.

Not the best
Turgid compared to the first books of the series. I’ll give the next one a go and hope it revives. Would appear to be caused by stretching the narrative into too many books.

I enjoyed this book, as I have the others in the series. However, it was spoilt by the reference to Kings Lynn - it didn’t exist in the 9th century, even if it did it wasn’t called Kings Lynn until the 16th.

A fantastic novel. Simply brilliant. This is by a margin the best of a very good series of books, which I have given the previous books 5 out of 5. The blend of battle scenes with a well developed underlying story, makes a phenomenal and an exciting journey. Straight on to book 4!

Though I begin to tire of the endless violence, I still can't get enough of Coelwulf's determination, battle skill and increasing concern for the men who follow him. The battles get harder, the enemy more skilled, and the politics more complicated, but Coelwulf is made of sterner stuff. Even the horses have their own agenda it seems!
It was a violent era, and the determination of both the Mercians and the raiders show what mettle was needed.
M.J. Porter brings the time alive with believable characters, true to the time in which they lived.

Great reading!
Don't pick this book up unless you have time to finish it. A ripping yarn so well written it becomes believable.

What a great series.
I read the first to the last without stopping and can’t wait for the last one. Great reads. Read them.

I really enjoy all the books from this author - this particular series of three was a little hard. There are a lot of battle scenes. It is three books of describing battle scene to battle scene to battle scene.
I enjoy learning the time period, theorizing what it might have been like, and I do like the battle scenes. I think these three books wore me thin on the battle scenes. Usually I can't put the books down but these three were harder to get through.

Praise for The Last Horse
“An excellent, well-written book.”
“Gripping story-line.”
“Action-packed, hard to put down.”
Book 3 continues with the action, blood and gore, and flows seamlessly from Book 2.
Amazing battle-scenes leave you feeling you’ve witnessed it first hand, such is the detail.
Fast-paced, battle-action, mayhem, you can hear the seaxes and war hammers smash against the shields, the thunder of the horses' hooves, the screams and cries of men. You can almost smell the blood.
Coelwulf, now crowned King of Mercia, rides once more with his loyal warriors and troops of Ealdorman Ælhun, to seek out the Raiders with the ever-faithful Pybba and Rudolf (whose character grows in each book), Edmund and Hereman. Coelwulf and his loyal warriors find the Raiders along the frontier of Mercia. The resourceful Rudolf leads Coelwulf into the next of Raiders.
Coelwulf’s character grows in strength as he wrestles with kingship, weighing his actions against the needs of Mercia and his loyalty to his chosen warriors.
You feel for the individual characters and grow to know them and the actions and mannerisms they have is an added bonus to any book and makes the reading so much more enjoyable.
5 stars from me.
Looking forward to more action.

No time for peace or time to acclimatise to becoming King of Merica, Coelfwulf and his warriors continue their fight to defend Merica.
This is by far my favourite book in this series. In The Last Horse you really get to see more of Coelwulf’s character, what he is like both on and off the battlefield. I especially enjoyed reading about Coelwulf off the battlefield. It helped to build his persona and give a better understanding of his compassion and loyalties. The Last Horse had the same feel about it as The Last Warrior (see my review here), the first book in the series. You get a sense of the characters, feel their comradery and loyalty. MJ’s writing enabled me to quickly lose myself in the adventures of The Last Horse. I was able to visualise the cold, the fatigue, the battle scene, the sense of despair and joy.
An excellent read. I was sad to finish this book, it felt like I was leaving old friends. I would definitely recommend The Ninth Century series, if you fancy a bit of English history, blood, gore and honour among men and women fighting for their county then give these books a go.
I received ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another page turner by this amazing author, historical and thrilling at the same time while still holding your interest in what the raiders and Coelwulf will do next. Onwards !

What can I say about book? It's the third in the series that centres on the warrior Coelwulf and his band of warriors and I adore this series.
Having read the first two I was so excited to receive this. I spent the whole day reading and refused to do anything else until I'd finished.
If you are looking for a series full of gruesome battles, fantastic characters and a great storyline then this is for you.

Better And Better
When I first started to read this saga I was thinking that I might not finish it. But as I kept reading the series it just grew and drew me into its story plot. The struggles of the Mercian people are amazing and this saga is so well written and the historical facts so well researched that it has become a great joy to read.

Non stop!
These books never seem to stop for breath! The action is constant. I'm excited for the next installment too. My only complaint is that the grammar and spelling could be better however.

Straight in at the deep end again! I'm exhausted reading about the exploits of Coelwulf and his warriors and their never ending batles. The proofreading could've been better but it takes nothing away from the action.

An opportunity to take part in the story and battles and relationships of a king who earned his reputation by never giving up no matter the odds

Love this series
I'm addicted to the characters...I want to follow this line through history. So much action and I can imagine I'm there when I'm reading.

BLURB
The third book in The Ninth Century Series.
The Raiders have been routed from Torksey, dead, or escaped.
Mercia lies broken but not beaten, her alliance with Wessex in tatters, her new king a warrior not a ruler. And as he endures his coronation, as demanded by the bishops and ealdormen, there are stirrings from the east.
Coelwulf must again take to the trackways of Mercia. His destination, any place where the Raiders are trying to infiltrate the kingdom he’s fought so hard to keep whole, losing beloved friends in the process.
The year is AD874 and Mercia lies threatened. But Coelwulf, and his loyal warriors, have vowed to protect Mercia with their lives. They’re not about to stop now.
REVIEW
Coelwulf may not like acting like a King, but Mercia has no more loyal protector than he. The Raiders seem to be everywhere, and they seem to be one-step ahead; making this episode a page-turning, guessing-game. It's not really a spoiler to disclose that Coelwulf survives, after all the series continues, but there are surprises in store for you, my fellow peeps and readers. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Full Review Here
My trouble with ARCs is that it spreads series out with long gaps in-between books. However, I’ve read The Ninth Century in quick succession and love it – I’m so invested in these characters: who lives, who dies, schemes cooked up, battles fought… Reading the books (almost) back to back means the names have stopped confusing me and I can’t turn the pages fast enough.
I’ve enjoyed the previous two volumes, but The Last Horse goes the extra mile. There’s something about this war-band with their big hearts and friendships with their horses that speaks to me. I admit the title made me fearful for my favourite four-legged character but – thankfully – those fears were in vain.
Coewulf is now king – he’s got the crown to prove it, even if keeping it on his head proves problematic, much to Rudolf’s amusement. This hasn’t changed him though: there’s Raiders to expel from his land and he only goes through with the formalities to please his aunt and guarantee men. Politics are for others.
He’s a strong leader who will do whatever it takes to protect those who follow him. But he knows his weaknesses and limitations and it makes him such a relatable protagonist you have to like him. You’ve always known he’d do anything to save his men, but this one proves it: he’d ride out, barely defended, if that’s what it took to bring them home. Coewulf faces impossible odds alone, and the only thing concerning him is if his men have made it to safety.
Porter introduces multiple generations this time. It adds a fantastic dynamic to the group: tough soldiers have different priorities when involving their sons or grandsons, injecting levity and humour, and adding momentum at otherwise quiet points of the book. It’s also enjoyable watching Coewulf squirm: he’s the king of Mercia, but he doesn’t dare cross his aunt and what she’s planning.
All the characters feel real. There’s no shying away from the events that have brought them to this point. If they’ve been through something traumatic, they damn well feel it, are haunted by it, and their actions are affected. It would have been too easy to make them unfeeling but the balance is perfect.
The Last Horse brings the fight to the Raiders. The tension and pace felt higher than before; they’re not hunting down their enemy, they’re rooting them out and dealing them a blow they hopefully won’t recover from. I love the tactics used and the faint optimism threaded throughout that they might actually have a chance of winning this.
Following the style of the previous books, the prologue introduces a worrying situation for Coewulf. Avoiding spoilers, I’ll only say this was such a satisfying ending!
This isn’t a light book. But it reminded me of the sheer pleasure of reading – I was gripped, devouring it with a huge grin because it swept me up in the story, the characters and the way events were unfolding. I can’t recommend this series enough!
