However, Uhtred is still tied to Alfred's family by various oaths he has made over the years, with one such oath causing him to leave his (reclaimed) homeland of Northumbria, and in particular Bebbanburg, and travel south in an attempt to fulfil that oath.
With large portions of this novel set mainly in and around London (or Lundene), this felt to me somewhat like a bridging novel, setting up the future status quo and laying seeds from what is still to come (the unification of England)
