About this product

Product Information

The first book in a brand new series, The Last Kingdom is set in England during the reign of King Alfred.Uhtred is an English boy, born into the aristocracy of ninth-century Northumbria. Orphaned at ten, he is captured and adopted by a Dane and taught the Viking ways. Yet Uhtred's fate is indissolubly bound up with Alfred, King of Wessex, who rules over the only English kingdom to survive the Danish assault.The struggle between the English and the Danes and the strife between christianity and paganism is the background to Uhtred's growing up. He is left uncertain of his loyalties but a slaughter in a winter dawn propels him to the English side and he will become a man just as the Danes launch their fiercest attack yet on Alfred's kingdom. Marriage ties him further still to the West Saxon cause but when his wife and child vanish in the chaos of the Danish invasion, Uhtred is driven to face the greatest of the Viking chieftains in a battle beside the sea. There, in the horror of the shield-wall, he discovers his true allegiance.The Last Kingdom, like most of Bernard Cornwell's books, is firmly based on true history. It is the first novel of a series that will tell the tale of Alfred

    Loved the TV series? This is much better!

    Bernard Cornwell is a master at showing the battles and violence of the 9th century. You can almost believe you were there with his hero, Uhtred. Cornwell, however, tempers the horrors of war with evocative descriptions of the rural landscapes and builds strong and memorable characters. I couldn't put this book down!

  • A good interpretation of the events from history.

    I bought this for my husband as I knew he enjoyed watching the series of The Last Kingdom on TV. He says he is enjoying it just as much.
