The brand new novel in Bernard Cornwellâs number one bestselling series on the making of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
BBC2âs major TV show THE LAST KINGDOM is based on the first two books in the series.
Britain is at an uneasy peace. After their bloody defeat of Danish-held East Anglia, the West Saxons stand victorious while the Mercians have taken back their land on the border of Northumbria, the last kingdom of Britain still ruled by the pagan northmen. A precarious truce exists between Ãthelflædâs Mercia and Northumbria, now ruled by Uhtred of Bebbanburgâs son-in-law, Sigtryggr.
Under the cover of this fragile calm, Uhtred must begin his campaign that will end with the assault on Bebbanburg, the great fortress that is rightly his and was stolen from him in childhood. But his plans are shattered when the Scots surge down and lay claim to the north of England, as the West Saxons, under Uhtredâs old enemy, Ãthelhelm, invade Northumbria from the south. If Uhtred is to succeed in recapturing Bebbanburg he must both defeat Ãthelhelmâs forces and drive the Scots away before he can attack the formidable fortress by the sea. He has a small army and many enemies, but Uhtred is not the supreme warlord of Britain for nothing . . .
