Description

The Pagan Lord by Bernard Cornwell is the seventh novel in his acclaimed series about the making of England. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a Saxon raised by Vikings, has been declared outcast and branded a pagan abomination by the church. As he sails north, he is driven by a desire to reclaim his stolen birthright and protect the Saxons from Viking leader Cnut Longsword's next attack. Uhtred's fate is bound to the Saxons, particularly Aethelflaed, the bright lady of Mercia, and the dream of a united England. Despite being torn between his life and his duty, Uhtred remains a formidable warrior, with a mind as sharp as his sword. He is a thorn in the side of those who seek to control him, including the priests and nobles who shape his destiny. For great battles must still be fought, and Uhtred is ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead. With his unwavering determination and unshakeable loyalty, he will stop at nothing to defend what he holds dear.
