England is under attack. Chaos reigns. Northumbria, the last kingdom, is threatened by an alliance of Norse and Scottish invaders, by land and sea – and only one man stands in their way. Torn between loyalty and sworn oaths, the warrior king Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg faces his greatest ever battle in this brutal tale of shield wall combat – and prepares for his ultimate fate…
