''The Empty Throne'' is the eighth historical novel in ''The Saxon Stories'' series by Bernard Cornwell, first published in October 2014. It is set in 10th-century Mercia and Dyfed. ==Plot summary== The forces of Wessex and Mercia have united against the Danes, but instability and the threat of Viking raids still hang heavy over Britain’s kingdoms. For Aethelred, Lord of the Mercians, is dying, leaving no heir and the stage is set for rivals to fight for the throne. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, Mercia's greatest warrior, has always supported Athelflaed to be Mercia's next ruler, but will the aristocracy ever accept a woman as their leader? Aethelred's widow and sister to the king of Wessex is the candidate. As the Mercians squabble and the West Saxons try to annex their country, new enemies appear on the northern frontier. The Saxons desperately need strong leadership, but instead they are fighting each other to fill an empty throne. They threaten to undo the unity and strength that underlies Englaland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Empty Throne )〕
