The Last Kingdom

Alfred's conviction to unite the kingdoms of England is stronger than ever, and he sets his sights on the wild lands of the north, which have fallen into the control of savage Northmen.

When spies infiltrate the Cumbrerland army, Uhtred must rely on his troops to protect him from a perilous attack. He rides as the dead horseman once again, and Kjartan's thirst for revenge grows ever stronger.

Uhtred is thrown in chains on a ship, and Hild and Ragnar embark on their mission to free him. The lords of the north congregate in Eoferwic, and Guthred learns to sorely regret his act of clemency.

Uhtred is under orders from Alfred to rid Northumbria of the warlord brothers Erik and Sigefrid.

Trouble is brewing in nearby East Anglia, and Aethelwold brings Uhtred a strange tale.

Winchester celebrates Aethelred and Aethelflaed's wedding, but the festivities are short lived as the clouds of war gather and Alfred runs out of options to keep the peace. When rumours swirl, Alfred's mistrust of Uhtred reaches a new low.
