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.

‘A phenomenal storyteller’ Daily Express

'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer

Montyville ,

Excellent book

Halfway through the book I was enjoying it and regarded as a four-star read. However the second half was brilliant and I had trouble putting it down. Definitely recommended...

A Slow start

I enjoyed this book in the end and will definitely buy book 2. However there were times early on that I nearly give up on it. TIP Stick with it.
