Warriors of the storm

not applicable

by Bernard Cornwell

The Saxon tales, 9

King Alfred's son Edward and formidable daughter, thelflaed, rule Wessex, Mercia and East Anglia. But all around the restless Northmen, eyeing the rich lands and wealthy churches, are mounting raids. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the kingdom's greatest warrior, controls northern Mercia from the strongly fortified city of Chester. But forces are rising up against him. Despite the gathering threat, both Edward and thelflaed are reluctant to move out of the safety of their fortifications. In the struggle between family and loyalty, between personal ambition and political commitment, there will be no easy path. But a man with a warrior's courage may be able to find it. Such a man is Uhtred, and this may be his finest hour. Sequel to "The empty throne", followed by "The flame bearer". 2
