NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“I gulped it right down. Excellent, as always. . . . Cornwell brings battles to life like no one else.” –George R.R. Martin, Author of Game of Thrones

The final installment in Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling Saxon Tales series, chronicling the epic story of the making of England—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit Netflix series.

THE FINAL BATTLE AWAITS…

The epic conclusion to the globally bestselling historical series.

England is under attack. Chaos reigns. Northumbria, the last kingdom, is threatened by armies from all sides, by land and sea – and only one man stands in their way. Torn between loyalty and sworn oaths, the warrior king Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg faces his greatest ever battle – and prepares for his ultimate fate…

“Perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today” (Washington Post), Bernard Cornwell has dazzled and entertained readers and critics with his prolific string of page-turning bestsellers. Of all his protagonists, however, none is as beloved as Uhtred of Bebbanburg, and this thrilling historical novel continues the saga of his adventures and the turbulent early years of England.

Five stars

Typical Cornwall. Awesome storytelling blending historical fact with fiction. The reader becomes a character, a fly on the wall. No matter the genres, the syntax and plot ease the reader’s sense of immersion in the story.

Couldn’t put the book down

This book seems to be a fitting end to the series (if it is) as once again Uhtred, Son of Uhtred pulls victory from seeming defeat for his king.
The book is very well written and deeply engaging as are all in the series. Once I turned the first page I knew that once again I would not be able to put it down for anything other than the most pressing responsibilities. Read the book. Better yet read the entire series. My only regret is that the story of Uhtred may have come to an end and I will miss Uhtred, Finan, and everyone else I have come to enjoy knowing.

More Utred please!

Please don’t let this be the end. The last kingdom series was great and the books are as well. Give us more Bebbanburg!
