“I gulped it right down. Excellent, as always. . . . Cornwell brings battles to life like no one else.” –George R.R. Martin, Author of Game of Thrones

The final installment in Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling Saxon Tales series, chronicling the epic story of the making of England—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit Netflix series.

THE FINAL BATTLE AWAITS…

The epic conclusion to the globally bestselling historical series.

England is under attack. Chaos reigns. Northumbria, the last kingdom, is threatened by armies from all sides, 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 – and prepares for his ultimate fate…

“Perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today” (Washington Post), Bernard Cornwell has dazzled and entertained readers and critics with his prolific string of page-turning bestsellers. Of all his protagonists, however, none is as beloved as Uhtred of Bebbanburg, and this thrilling historical novel continues the saga of his adventures and the turbulent early years of England.

Epic end to an epic series!

Wow. So many manly tears shed across all books and this is probably one of the most fulfilling and satisfactory endings to any series I have, in this case, listened. So many distinguishable characters. So many vivid scenes. So many great turns and memorable, plot twists that are not over the top and confusing. It was really hard to take a break from listening to do something else.
Also great Matt Bate's performance - from his voice, voice acting to clearly displayed emotions.
It was a great ride! It will be very hard now to find any other historical fiction set in the era to come even close to the quality of Bernad Cornwell.

My favorite series ends on a high

Loved every book in this series. Matt Bates makes the story come alive. The writing is so vivid that I can't imagine how a movie could make the details for realistic. I'll miss the new adventures of friends...but they will always be just a re-listen away.

A worthy end to the saga

A worthy end to the saga of Uhtred, as always expertly narrated. Highly recommended

Amazing!!!!!!

The only thing bad about this book is that it ends the series of The Last Kingdom

An amazing ride

I'm so sad it's over but so happy I got to experience this! it was a wonderful journey
