In this latest installment of Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling series, the saga of Uhtred of Bebbanburg unfolds against the backdrop of a fragile peace in Britain. Northumbria’s Viking ruler, Sigtryggr, and Mercia’s Saxon Queen Aethelflaed have established a truce, providing Uhtred with a rare opportunity to reclaim his ancestral home, Bebbanburg, which was taken from him by his treacherous uncle and is still occupied by his cunning cousin. However, Uhtred's quest is complicated by the enemies he has made and the oaths he has sworn, which divert his focus from his goal. As new adversaries emerge, including the formidable Constantin of Scotland, the stability of England hangs in the balance. Uhtred’s determination to reclaim his birthright is unwavering, but he must navigate a landscape filled with both old foes and new threats. With the specter of war looming, Uhtred, the Lord of Bebbanburg, must rely on the skills he has honed through years of battle to turn his dream into reality. The stakes are higher than ever as the fate of England's kingdoms hangs in the balance.
