Welcome to The Last Kingdom

Discover the first book in the epic, bestselling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land.

In a land torn apart by conflict, an orphan boy has come of age. Raised by the Vikings, deadly enemies of his own Saxon people, Uhtred is a fierce and skilled warrior who kneels to no-one.

Alfred – Saxon, king, man of god – fights to hold the throne of the only land still resisting the pagan northerners.

Uhtred and Alfred’s fates are tangled, soaked in blood and blackened by the flames of war. Together they will change history.

Interesting

Rather gory at times but an interesting historical story nevertheless which keeps readers intrigued with each new development.

A Great Historical Readread

It’s based on history, how closely I have no idea, but what a great read it is.

Amazing Series

Cannot get enough of this series, have re-read right through atleast three times and still as exciting a read as the first time round. The constant plots, twists and turns make for every book to have a can’t put down storyline.
