THE LAST KINGDOM series by Bernard Cornwell
From a windswept fortress on the sea in Northumbria to the fierce battle that finally united England, THE LAST KINGDOM series tells the story of England through the eyes of the warrior, Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg. Beginning in the time of Alfred the Great and culminating in the creation of the King of England, this is the powerful story of a dramatic time in history, that most of us know little about, told by the master storyteller Bernard Cornwell.
Uhtred, heir to Bebbanburg, is orphaned in the Viking conquest of Northumbria, but brought up in the family of one of his conquerors he soon adopts a passion for their way of life. He will forever be torn between his Anglo-Saxon heritage and his allegiance to his Viking family and so offers a unique narrative in the epic account of the clash of peoples, regions, politics and ambition – the high price of unity – that led to the birth of a nation. Steeped in historical detail, Bernard Cornwell has woven a story of divided loyalties, deep friendship and love, creating one of the most interesting characters in historical fiction.
