‘Like Game of Thrones, but real’ OBSERVER
'Blood, divided loyalties and thundering battles' THE TIMES

‘He’s called a master storyteller. Really he’s cleverer than that’ TELEGRAPH
‘A reminder of just how good a writer he is’ SUNDAY TIMES
‘Nobody in the world does this better than Cornwell’ Lee Child

'A violent, absorbing historical saga, deeply researched and thoroughly imagined' WASHINGTON POST

The writer holds you, clutching your fast beating heart in your mouth. Every sentence full of our appalling and dangerous past, with a soul searching flashlight, picking the happiest and saddest moments with the presion of an established master craftsman at his finest. Wicked story!

Stunning story

Some great snippets of life in Uhtred's Hall, it takes you straight back to the action and our beloved Saxon warlord. Perfect to revisit one more time after the main series climatic conclusion
