Publisher Description

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

The sixth book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions. As seen on Netflix and BBC.

The master of historical fiction presents the iconic story of King Alfred and the making of a nation.

Alfred, the great king, is said to be dying. Rivals for his succession are poised to tear the kingdom apart. The country Alfred has worked thirty years to build is about to disintegrate.

Uhtred, the King’s warrior, Viking born but Saxon bred, wants more than anything else to go and fight to reclaim his stolen Northumbrian inheritance. But he knows that if he deserts the King’s cause, Alfred’s dream – and indeed the very future of the English nation – will very likely vanish.

Death of Kings is an outstanding novel by a master storyteller of how England was made – and very nearly lost.

The Times

Praise for AZINCOURT:

'This is a magnificent and gory work' Daily Mail

‘A runaway success’ Observer

Praise for Bernard Cornwell:

‘A phenomenal storyteller’ Daily Express

‘The characterisation, as ever, is excellent…And one can only admire the little touches that bring the period to life. He can also claim to be a true poet of both the horror and the glory of war’ Sunday Telegraph

This is typical Cornwell, meticulously researched, massive in scope, brilliant in execution’ News of the World

‘He’s called a master story-teller. Really he’s cleverer than that’ Telegraph

Simon Grieve ,

Not quite what I had hoped - still a great read..

Have been hanging out for this book for ages as a massive fan of the rest of the series. Although still enjoyable, I was left wanting much more, as there is quite a bit of 'grey space' in the story..

Can't wait for the next installment,

DEATH OF KINGS

Another great saga in the Viking tales

DaveTay ,

Death of Kings, but Uhtred lives to fight again!

Bernard - can you write a bit faster! After waiting so long for the next instalment I read this in 2 nights! I can't put these books down, the language is fast paced, and exciting. The plot develops with twists and turns and the story is gripping. Uhtred is now in his mid 40's so I hope to see a few more books in the pipeline - better than Sharpe, this series of books is quite superb - enjoy every moment.
