Cwen of Bebbanburg had known death. It frequented her life more than she could say in a short amount of time. And yet life had taken its course when Uhtred, her brother, was taken from her and she was kept in Bebbanburg, in a home that did not feel like a home. As she grows, taking care of her cousin and surviving under her uncle, Cwen finds that she cannot survive for long as long as Aelfric feels threatened by Uhtred. It takes all the power she knows she does not have to find her brother and gain her freedom. (The Last Kingdom Season 1 - The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die)
