Description
Death of Kings by Bernard Cornwell is a gripping novel that explores the tumultuous world of 9th-century England. As the great king Alfred nears the end of his life, rival claimants to the throne are poised to tear the kingdom apart. Uhtred, a warrior with Viking roots and Saxon upbringing, must navigate this treacherous landscape to reclaim his stolen Northumbrian inheritance. With the fate of the English nation hanging in the balance, Uhtred is faced with an impossible choice: remain loyal to the king or risk everything to fight for what he believes is rightfully his. This outstanding novel by a master storyteller is a compelling tale of power, loyalty, and the struggle to shape a new nation. A companion to The Last Kingdom series, Death of Kings offers a fresh perspective on the making of England and the enduring legacy of its greatest heroes.
