This book by Bernard Cornwell describes an uneasy peace between Northumbria’s Vikings and Mercia’s Saxons. Uhtred of Bebbanburg plans how to recapture his birthright home from his uncle and cousin who usurped his land in a previous battle. Uhtred has leaned the skills of war fighting throughout Britain, and his reputation inspires and scares others. This is a fast-moving historical fiction read, full of lusty passionate people, and offers a glimpse into life as it was. Bernard Cornwell has written several novels that describe ancient times, and this doesn’t disappoint his readers who expect fast action, brave heroes, and compelling challenges.
