England is under attack. Chaos reigns. Northumbria, the last kingdom, is threatened by armies from all sides, by land and sea – and only one man stands in their way. Torn between loyalty and sworn oaths, the warrior king Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg faces his greatest ever battle – and prepares for his ultimate fate…
This is the 13th in the Saxon tales series and I have read every one as soon as they have come out. If you like historical fiction, this is a great series for you. Cornwell writes these novels with exceedingly great skill and the character of Utred never disappoints. I am sorry the series is over as I have enjoyed all the novels and can hardly believe there won't be another one. Start with The Last Kingdom and get ready for a great ride. 5/5 stars, highly recommended.
