Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands

Herot is bustling as the town makes preparations for the Gathering at which the next Jarl, leader of the Shieldlands, will be elected. With the other tribal leaders due to arrive in Herot at any moment however, the pressure mounts to catch Herot’s killer before another victim is claimed. In a bid to buy themselves more time and avoid panic amongst the tribe leaders, Rheda, Slean and Abrecan ride out to stall them whilst Beowulf begins his search.

Edward VIII's monarchy hung in the balance. His desire to marry an American divorcee had set him on a collision course with the British press, the Royal Household, and the government. The prime minister was desperate to prevent a constitutional crisis by stopping the king from marrying. But the King believed Wallis had to be the nation's Queen.

Walking inside a bounce house is hard enough — so how on earth would you walk on the moon? Blippi and Meekah find out by asking some astronauts!

With Slean and Thane Scorann missing, Beowulf and Rate, Thane of the Varni, ride out into the forest in search of them. But with the Gathering fast approaching and Rheda’s bid for leadership depending on the hope of ever-loyal Scorann’s vote, Beowulf questions whether their disappearance might be more than a simple coincidence.

The day of the Gathering. Rheda must prove herself worthy to become ruler of all the Shieldlands. Meanwhile, Slean must also make a sacrifice for his mother’s campaign, but in doing so, his loyalties become deeply conflicted.

Beowulf, Elvina, Vishka and Breca continue towards the Mere to cement a new treaty. As they tackle various assaults the group’s situation goes from bad to desperate.

As Herot is preparing for Slean and Keta's wedding, shocking secrets are revealed and the couple must decide if new loyalties are to be forged or irrevocably shattered. Meanwhile, with Rheda’s new laws permeating the tribes, Abrecan is forced to choose between stepping aside and accepting his sister's rule or standing against her in a declaration of war.

With danger lurking in every corner threatening the Shieldlands, Herot’s Huskarla patrol the forests looking for signs of the enemy. Enjoying their newfound romance, Beowulf and Elvina become distracted from the threats around them and she is soon forced to reveal a dark secret.

Beowulf grapples with the revelation of Elvina’s secret and the fact that he has fallen in love with her. Rheda returns to her hometown to see her brother Abrecan. In Bregan, she is confronted with some alarming revelations.

The battle of all battles falls upon the peoples of Herot. Weapons forged, loyal and armed, men, women and children brace themselves to wage a brutal attack with Beowulf helming their defence.
