*A brand new companion to the Last Kingdom series, Uhtred’s Feast, is available to pre-order now*

The 11th book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land.

As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.

Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg knows that peace is far from reach. Though he has won the battle for his ancestral home, rebellion looms in Mercia and invading Norsemen appear at every turn.

With the country in turmoil, Uhtred comes face-to-face with King Skoll, a violent Norseman leading an army of úlfheðinn, or wolf warriors, hellbent on seizing a kingdom – and killing any in his path.

Surrounded and outnumbered by new enemies, Uhtred must call on all his skill and courage to survive, and prevent his beloved Northumbria from falling to the Viking hordes.

A darker tail of an older, less confident Uhtred. Gripping and enthralling, horrific details of battle. Fantastic story telling...

Fantastic listen well acted.

Firstly, Matt Bates has nailed this - it’s brilliantly narrated (as per all his previous narrations) bit he’s also reading something that as a writer myself, I can only admire. The depth of knowledge about the era, the constant threat to the protagonist’s life - the politics - the dark ages has never been so colourful. I utterly recommend not just this, but the entire series. A must for anyone.

I can’t get enough of this series
