Uhtred found that the Danes had already made their pre-battle sacrifices, seeing a jackdaw's foot hanging from a tree, and he returned to Winchester to meet with the King and with Alfred. Odda then had a second witness, Leofric, brought in as a prisoner. He also learned thatGisela was waiting for himat the nunnery ofEpchester, but, soon after, she was captured by Eadred, who intended tomarry her by proxyto Aelfric by Brother Aidan. However, he realized that, by now, he only saw Ragnar, Ravn, Rorik, and Brida as his family. Edward said that Uhtred was in no position to bargain, and threatened to have him seized if he would not cooperate. Sven succeeded in escaping, and Finan approached Sverri and stabbed him through the neck before he could escape. Together they had one daughter. Uhtred, enraged, killed several of the Danes before Finan ordered a retreat. Uhtred snuck into Thyra's home, where she warmly greeted him, although not before holding out a knife to face any intruder, as many Saxons came to believe that she did not belong among them. However, when Brida volunteered to joinRagnar's fleet, Uhtred said that he had promised a year of service to King Alfred, and Ragnar told him to keep his promises. Uhtred did not wish to rule in Mercia, but Edward said that Uhtred was rarely able to make his own choices, and that, if Uhtred refused, a great slaughter would ensue as Mercia fought against Wessex. The next evening, Beocca told Uhtred that Ealhswith had rescinded his pardon. Uhtred refused to let Aethelflaed hand herself over, so he threatened to kill Cnut's sons if Bjorgulf did not leave. Uhtred decided that they only needed to kill Aelfric for the gates to open, and he returned to Cookham to continue his planning. Callyn said that the fort was guarded by no more than 50 men, while the Cornish had 30 fighting men, to which Uhtred responded by saying that he had 20 men. When Uhtred returned to his hall, he found Osferth stoking a fire and preparing him food. Uhtred confronted Cnut about his murder of Ragnar, and Cnut said that Ragnar was weak and had to be killed. After Sihtric presented Edward's sons Aelfweard and Aethelstan from the city gates and told Edward that he could choose to save one if he retreated, Uhtred decided to trade himself instead, knowing that the Danes wanted him dead, especially Brida. The next morning, Uhtred delivered food to Skade, who failed to seduce him. During their stay, Osferth discovered that Cnut and Brida had attacked Mercia, and he relayed this to Uhtred. Uhtred then stole a horse and chased down Aethelflaed, who fell from his horse, broke his arm, and tumbled off the road after his head hit a branch. Uhtred later spared Sihtric, Kjartan's illegitimate son and the last captive, after he took Halig hostage and demanded to join Uhtred's service. Uhtred refused to beg for mercy, instead saying that he would never kneel before a king or the Christian God, and he was restrained by armed men, while Alfred ordered that he was to be executed. Steapa wounded Uhtred by throwing a spaer past his arm, grazing him. With Ubbe in Ireland, Guthrum would have to decide if he would fight alone, and Alfred estimated that he would fear losing too many of his own men, and would not fight.

Uhtred was ultimately forced to back down by Leofric, and Odda the Elder assured Uhtred that they were safe at his home, where Mildrith had happily stayed earlier in her life. Uhtred advised that he send out his priests to rally men from across the land, and they would meet at Egbert's Stone. In private conversation with Odda, Uhtred revealed that he had angered Ubbe to cause him to instill doubt in Ubbe, buying time for the West Saxons to attack. They prevented him from escaping, and they then promised to pay him if he helped them. Uhtred later told Finan that his reputation was waning, and he told Finan that he was finished with battles; he then praised Finan's leadership abilities, while saying that he had lost both his lands and his name and was now nothing. Uhtred and his friends were let in by Father Pyrlig, who helped them enter through a side gate during Aethelred's funeral. During a private moment, Uhtred urged Alfred to call for soldiers to form an army for one last, defining battle. Acting on his fathers behalf, Uhtred rallied troops from Bernicia and Yorkshire and successfully ended the siege. Finan said that he had come to find a woman and to rest, but not to fight against Alfred, and he decided to go outside and drink ale, leaving Uhtred at a table with Brida. Uhtred then killed Guthlac in front of the village, warning the people that they owed all of their loyalty to Aethelflaed. Uhtred and his men encamped a day's ride from Dunholm, where Finan told him that he was afraid that he was going to die, but he failed to convince Uhtred to let him kill Skade. Uhtred left the roof and began to throw torches at the houses of the village, distracting Guthlac's men by burning the village. The party arrived at Beamfleot, where Haastein brought them to the brothers. He then rejoined his men as Aethelflaed confronted her brother, but, when he came back to Aethelflaed, he discovered that she had been exiled from Wessex by her brother for her insubordination and for putting Mercia before Wessex. The Cornish warriors were slaughtered down to the last man, and Peredur was forced to give up the location of the silver, which was buried in the hole under his throne. However, Sihtric had spotted the old man rise out of his grave and gasp for air without having received a man's blood, exposing the fraud. When Eadred repeatedly taunted Uhtred about Gisela being married in God's eyes and Uhtred being a heathen, Uhtred stabbed the abbot in the chest with a knife, horrifying Hild and the priests present at the scene, as a holy man was killed at a holy site. In addition, he would take Uhtred's daughter Stiorra with him. Uhtred shared how, despite his strained realtionship with Alfred, it was nothing less than an honor to serve him, that he was his king, and that Alfred had chosen not to announce the pardon so that King Edward would be able to dispense justice. He then told his companions that he needed to find Skade, although Finan warned that she was guarded by 2,000 Danes or more. However, before leaving, he was informed by Pyrlig that Young Uhtred had decided to go back to Wessex and pursue God's calling once again, and he assured Uhtred that he was a fine young man. Edith told Uhtred that Aethelflaed wanted him to meet her at the ruins of St. Milburg's Priory, and, while Young Uhtred told his father that they had already passed the priory (which was on the way to Wenloca) and others suggested that it might be a trick to divert Uhtred from Chester, he ultimately placed his trust in Edith and went with her to meet Aethelflaed at Wenloca (Much Wenlock). He also discovered that Aethelflaed, the children, and Edith were with Uhtred, so Edward sent Cenric and his men to track them and bring them back to Aylesbury. That evening, Iseult told Uhtred that she no longer wanted her powers, and the two made love, breaking Iseult's spell. During this campaign, Ragnar captured 16 young women from a burned-down village, and he gave one of them, the young Brida, to Uhtred as a companion.
