Description

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

The eighth book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land.

As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.
In the battle for power, there can be only one ruler.

The ruler of Mercia is dying, leaving no apparent heir. His wife is a born leader, but no woman has ever ruled over an English kingdom. And she is without her greatest warrior and champion, Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

An empty throne leaves the kingdom exposed to rival West Saxons and to the Vikings, who are on a bloody rampage once more.

A hero is needed, a hero who has been in battle all his life, who can destroy the double threat to Mercia. A hero who will ultimately decide the fate of a nation

Reviews

Praise for Bernard Cornwell:

The best battle scenes of any writer Ive ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive George R.R. Martin

Cornwell is always in full command of his material SUNDAY TIMES

Like GAME OF THRONES, but real Observer

Tense, powerful, compulsive THE TIMES

Hes called a master storyteller. Really hes cleverer than that TELEGRAPH

Nobody in the world does this better than Cornwell Lee Child
