About this listen
The tenth book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions.
A hero will be forged from this broken land.
As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.
From the day it was stolen from me I had dreamed of recapturing Bebbanburg. The great fort was built on a rock that was almost an island, it was massive, it could only be approached on land by a single narrow track – and it was mine.
Britain is in a state of uneasy peace. Northumbria’s Viking ruler, Sigtryggr, and Mercia’s Saxon Queen Aethelflaed have agreed a truce. And so England’s greatest warrior, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, at last has the chance to take back the home his traitorous uncle stole from him so many years ago – and which his scheming cousin still occupies.
But fate is inexorable and the enemies Uhtred has made and the oaths he has sworn combine to distract him from his dream of recapturing Bebbanburg. New enemies enter into the fight for England’s kingdoms: the redoubtable Constantin of Scotland seizes an opportunity for conquest and leads his armies south. Britain’s precarious peace threatens to turn into a war of annihilation.
But Uhtred is determined that nothing, neither the new enemies nor the old foes who combine against him, will keep him from his birthright. He is the Lord of Bebbanburg, but he will need all the skills he has learned in a lifetime of war to make his dream come true.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Flame Bearer to be better than the print version?
I did not know the book was out (which I will buy) so Ive listened first a bit arsey versey but anyhow it was great. I even had earphones in, in class and i'm a lecturer!Who was your favorite character and why?
FinnanWhat does Matt Bates bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The ability to do other things whilst listening.Plus Matt's accents make it seem more real.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Possibly when the bad guy's were sneaking in the back way but if you mean like a child getting cancer "moved" me it's not that kind of book.Any additional comments?
Great book, Great Reading.At last the legend ends

I read this series in paperback something like 6 years ago and have Revisited it in audiobook form and thoroughly enjoyed the newer additions. the first two narrators were good but a little bland but in the last two or three books the story has really come to life. every people has a unique accent, every character has a unique voice and the inflection and tone used is masterful. I could not stop listening and I could not recommend for series more highly.
Matt Bates does credit to an amazing series
