Description

*A brand new companion to the Last Kingdom series, Uhtred's Feast, is available to pre-order now*

An oath of loyalty. Two warring kings. A destiny he didn't choose...

England is in turmoil as Vikings and Saxons battle for territory. Rumours build about the fatal sickness of the King, and the country awaits an heir.

A violent clash at sea forces the warrior lord Uhtred to lead his men from his Northumbrian fortress to London and plunge into the eye of the storm. For two kings claim the empty throne, and a new kingdom cannot be born without bloodshed.

Uhtred's sword will leave one king dead and the other victorious. But sometimes it is hard to know the will of the gods...

'Nobody in the world does this better than Cornwell' LEE CHILD



About the Author

Bernard Cornwell was born in London, raised in Essex and
worked for the BBC for eleven years before meeting Judy, his
American wife. Denied an American work permit he wrote a
novel instead and has been writing ever since. He and Judy
divide their time between Cape Cod and Charleston, South
Carolina.
