Publisher's Summary

The 11th book in the epic and best-selling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land. As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.

Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg knows that peace is far from reach. Though he has won the battle for his ancestral home, rebellion looms in Mercia and invading Norsemen appear at every turn. With the country in turmoil, Uhtred comes face to face with King Skoll, a violent Norseman leading an army of úlfheðinn, or wolf warriors, hellbent on seizing a kingdom – and killing any in his path. Surrounded and outnumbered by new enemies, Uhtred must call on all his skill and courage to survive and prevent his beloved Northumbria from falling to the Viking hordes.

The story continues

Another great addition to the story. Performance continues to define the characters exceptionally. Only wish the same voice actor had read all the books from the start. regardless, I highly recommend this book in the series.

Fate Is Inexorable

Once again Cornwell delivers a fantastic combination of History and Fiction. The Saxon Stories continue to enlighten and entertain me. Bravo

one of the best books in the series.

I thought the story in this book was the best one so far in the series, I have yet to listen to 12 and 13.

Fantastic

As far as I am concerned, this book is an excellent example of the very best an audio book can be. The narration is the best I have heard, the performance is amazing. At times I thought there must be more than one narrator the different voices were that good. And the story is up to Cornwell's high standard, it is excellent. This series gets better and better.
