About this listen

Bernard Cornwell’s epic story of the making of England continues in this 11th installment in the best-selling Saxon Tales series - "[L]ike Game of Thrones, but real" (The Observer) - the basis of the hit Netflix television series The Last Kingdom.

His blood is Saxon. His heart is Viking. His battleground is England.

"Perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today" (Washington Post), Bernard Cornwell has dazzled and entertained fans and critics with his best-sellers. Of all his protagonists, however, none is as beloved as Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

And while Uhtred might have regained his family’s fortress, it seems a peaceful life is not to be - as he is under threat from both an old enemy and a new foe. The old enemy comes from Wessex, where a dynastic struggle will determine who will be the next king. And the new foe is Sköll, a Norseman, whose ambition is to be king of Northumbria and who leads a frightening army of wolf-warriors, men who fight half-crazed in the belief they are indeed wolves.

Uhtred, believing he is cursed, must fend off one enemy while he tries to destroy the other.

In this new chapter of the Saxon Tales series - a rousing adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love, and battle, as seen through the eyes of a warrior straddling two worlds - Uhtred returns to fight once again for the destiny of England.

Another fun read in the series!

I have to admit I have not enjoyed each of the books in the series as much as others, but this was a good one. If you follow any of Bernard Cornwell's series, this was right up there. I enjoyed it.

Matt Bates is Lord Uthred.

I love this series and the tale that Bernard Cornwell spins is exciting and engaging. He has made us fall in love with the birth of England, the Saxon heroes, the fearsome Norse warriors, the Britons, Welsh and the Irish. This part of history of the isles is sparce in true documentation but a skilled historic novelist paints the picture and fleshes out a story landscape. I am just dreading the day when the last Uthred story is told and my legendary friend leaves us for the Halls of Walhalla.

Not the best but very good

This had been the best series I had ever read until the last one. I can now say that my interest is back and Uhtred is as well. I enjoyed "War of the Wolf". Once again I will anticipate the next one.

Loved it

As with all of the books in the series, I loved this one as well. Matt Bates continues his brilliance, and I love how he imbues each characters voice. Definitely keeps me entertained while I sit and knit.

not as good as the rest of the series

Still enjoyable, but I think that this series should have ended at the last book.
