The Last Kingdom

📚 The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell

Born a Saxon nobleman but captured and raised by Danes, Uhtred grows up loving the people his countrymen call the enemy. As Viking armies conquer one English kingdom after another, he finds himself drawn into the struggle for Wessex, where King Alfred is determined to hold his ground.

Torn between his upbringing and his birthright, Uhtred must choose where his loyalty lies while fighting to reclaim the home stolen from him.

The first book in Cornwell’s Saxon Stories series, The Last Kingdom brings ninth-century Britain to life through fierce battles, political intrigue, and a warrior caught between two worlds. A gripping pick for readers who enjoy Viking history and sweeping historical adventures.
