Description
Bound by an oath he never truly chose, Uhtred of Bebbanburg is pulled into the violent succession crisis that follows King Edward’s death—where loyalty is tested, promises become weapons, and every alliance carries a price. As Vikings and Saxons fight for control of England, Uhtred is tasked with helping secure Athelstan’s claim to the throne, even as betrayal, ambition, and old grudges close in from every direction. Bernard Cornwell’s sharp, character-driven storytelling—known for its gritty realism and relentless momentum—turns this final reckoning into a high-stakes journey through power, faith, and the cost of honor. With Matt Bates joining the narrative, the result is a tense, immersive continuation that explores destiny versus agency and what it really means to keep faith when the world is burning.
