The Pagan Lord: The Seventh Last Kingdom Epic – Uhtred's War for England in the Dark Ages (Last Kingdom (formerly Saxon Tales), 7)

<p><strong>The</strong><strong> seventh installment of Bernard Cornwell’s <em>New York Times</em> bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (<em>The Observer</em>, London)—the basis for <em>The Last Kingdom</em>, the hit television series.</strong></p><p>At the onset of the tenth century, England is in turmoil. Alfred the Great is dead and Edward, his son, reigns as king. Wessex survives, but peace cannot hold: the Danes in the north, led by Viking Cnut Longsword, stand ready to invade and will not rest until the emerald crown is theirs. </p><p>Uhtred, once Alfred’s great warrior but now out of favor with the new king, must lead a band of outcasts north to recapture his old family home, that great Northumbrian fortress, Bebbanburg. </p><p>In <em>The Pagan Lord</em>, loyalties will be divided and men will fall, as every Saxon kingdom is drawn into the bloodiest battle yet with the Danes: a war that will decide the fate of every king, and the entire British nation.</p><p> </p>
