*A brand new companion to the Last Kingdom series, Uhtred’s Feast, is available to pre-order now*

The eighth 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.

In the battle for power, there can be only one ruler.

England is fractured, torn apart more by internal fighting than the threat of Viking invasion. The ruler of Mercia is dying, leaving no legitimate heir. His wife is a formidable fighter and great leader, but no woman has ever ruled over an English kingdom. And she is without her strongest warrior and champion, Uhtred of Bebbanburg. So the scene is set for an explosive battle between elders and warriors for an empty throne.

The vacant throne leaves a dangerous opportunity for the rival West Saxons to seize Mercia. But Edward of Wessex is distracted by the succession of his own throne, with two heirs claiming the right to be West Saxon king. And while the kingdoms are in disarray, the Vikings, this time coming from the west, will go on the rampage once more.

The very future of England hangs in the balance. A hero is needed, a hero who can destroy the threat to Mercia, a hero who will ultimately decide the fate of a nation…

Schön sich vorzustellen, dass die Entstehung von England durch das Wirken mutiger Männer und Frauen im Hintergrund hinter den Offiziellen Herrschern ermöglicht wurde.

Wie alle Teile der Serie einfach ein Genuss.

every time he says Wyrd bið ful aræd AGAIN, I want to smash my phone against the wall.
other than that still enjoying the story and I got used to the new speaker and that he pronounces the words differently than the speaker of the first few books. doing a great job and even though the story is repetitive I'm still enjoying myself and the characters are dear to me. on to the next part!

stop reminding me that fate is inexorable please.
