The new addition to the Last Kingdom series, "Uhtred's Feast", is available for pre-order.

The fifth novel in Bernard Cornwell's epic and bestselling series about the creation of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg.

As seen on Netflix and the BBC worldwide.

For King Alfred, he is the 'lord of battles'. He has gained wealth, loyal men, and a beloved wife. However, Uhtred is haunted by betrayal and tragedy.

The ailing Alfred pressures Uhtred to swear allegiance to his son and successor, Edward, thereby preventing the warrior lord from taking revenge on those who stole his home in Bebbanburg. Now Uhtred will once more defend the Christian kingdom – in a battle that may crush the rising strength of the dangerous Danes.

In this process, he encounters a woman more dangerous than any warlord. An assassin, a schemer with a dark power over the hearts of men: Skade.

Uhtred of Bebbanburg's mind is as sharp as his sword. A thorn in the side of priests and nobles who shape his fate, this Saxon raised by Vikings is torn between the life he loves and those he has sworn to serve.
