Summary
England is in turmoil as Vikings and Saxons battle for territory. Rumours build about the fatal sickness of the King, and the country awaits an heir.
A violent clash at sea forces the warrior lord Uhtred to lead his men from his Northumbrian fortress to London and plunge into the eye of the storm. For two kings claim the empty throne and a new kingdom cannot be born without bloodshed.
Uhtred’s sword will leave one king dead and the other victorious. But sometimes it is hard to know the will of the gods....

Cliff hangers !
Loved the suspenses in this book. The barley field, the chase at sea and into the tidal river, the last battle scene the huge scary warrior dude 😂

Aged but victorious
A vulnerable Uhtred is humbled but manages through sheer bloody mindedness to triumph once more.

As good as ever
Another great book in the Last Kingdom series. Only after listening to it, had I realized how I had missed listening to the adventures of Uhtred! Hard to stop listening. All the best qualities of the series are present in this latest book.
Highly recommended.

Long live Uhtred!
A cracking read continuing the saga of Uhtred. The narrator is excellent, as always, and the tale is well-paced and forceful. If this saga ever ends, I will have to start again with book one. I hope I don’t have to - roll on the next episode! Highly recommended.

Wiser than ever
I adore this series, each novel brings something new despite the familiar tones. Uthred grows in wit as he grows in age. He is more cautious now but it feels like a totally natural progression. I simply cannot wait to read the next, although I will be sad when it is over.
