A hero will be forged from this broken land.

As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.

When peace is torn apart by bloody Danish steel, Uhtred must fight to save a king who distrusts him.

Skeptical of a treaty between the Vikings and Wessex, Uhtred takes his talent for mayhem to Cornwall, gaining treasure and a mysterious woman on the way. But when he is accused of massacring Christians, he finds lies can be as deadly as steel.

Still, when pious King Alfred flees to a watery refuge, it is the pagan warrior he relies on. Now Uhtred must fight a battle which will shape history - and confront the Viking with the banner of the white horse ...

Uhtred of Babenberg's mind is as sharp as his sword. A thorn in the side of the priests and nobles who shape his fate, this Saxon raised by Vikings is torn between the life he loves and those he has sworn to serve.

About the Author:

Bernard Cornwell is the battlefield bard of historical fiction, bringing swords, shields, and legendary warriors roaring to life on the page! Best known for The Last Kingdom series (yep, the one that inspired the hit Netflix show), Bernard is a master at turning history into high-stakes adventure—complete with fierce battles, gritty heroes, and plenty of shield-wall action.

Whether he’s following the rise of Uhtred of Bebbanburg or diving into the smoke and chaos of the Napoleonic Wars with Sharpe, Bernard writes with the kind of vivid detail that puts you right in the thick of it—mud, blood, and all.

With sharp wit, rich historical research, and a love for underdogs who don’t back down, his stories are perfect for anyone who likes their fiction epic, their characters bold, and their history with a side of mayhem.

If you’re ready to ride into battle (without leaving your reading chair), Bernard Cornwell is your fearless guide through the past
