The Last King

It is the year 1206 in Medieval Norway, and the country is ravaged by civil war. The King is dying and his illegitimate son is kept thoroughly secret. A boy half the kingdom is out to kill, and whom two men have to protect with their own lives.

The Last King is the story of the struggle for power between the Church and the King’s men. It is a story of tremendous courage, loyalty and a treacherous journey across the mountains. The novel is based on the film manuscript written by Ravn Lanesskog for the movie with the same name and is written by Jon Ewo, one of Norway’s leading authors of fiction for children and young adults.
