About this listen
*A brand new companion to the Last Kingdom series, Uhtred’s Feast, is available to pre-order now*
An oath of loyalty.Two warring kings.
A destiny he didn’t choose…
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…

‘Legendary … excellent storytelling, as ever’ Sunday Sport
Great writer harshly judged by previous works

In May 2019 I actually went to Bamberg Castle, all the way from Australia. It had been a dream of mine to see it since the first book. It was amazing to see the beautiful area around the castle and how well, in the time in the book, it would have been to defend against enemies. It made the fictional store feel real. Definitely worth a visit for all who love the books but it is a place with a great history all of its own.
I am also glad they included Bernard Cornwell's notes at the end. The last audio book did not which was saddening
Uthred of Bebbenburg is Inexerable!

Captivating, well written and thoroughly enjoyable. Always struggle to put down one of Bernard Cornwells books, or to cease listening to it.
Brilliant as always

I will immediately commence the final book and hope Harffy continues his Wolf of Wessex novel by making it a series too.
A master at the height of his powers.
