THE LAST KINGDOM series is an historical novel series about the birth of England in the 9th & 10th Centuries. The protagonist of the series is Uhtred of Bebbanburg,born to a Saxon lord in Northumbria. He is captured as a child and adopted by a Danish warlord.The name of the fictional protagonist comes from the historical Uhtred the Bold,and Cornwell is a descendant of this family. The story begins with the conquest of all but one of the major Saxon kingdoms by the Danes, with Wessex,the last kingdom,nearly overrun. Alfred the Great,King of Wessex,rallies his forces and begins the long struggle to fulfill his ambition of uniting all English speakers in one realm.Uhtred,despite his inclinations otherwise,repeatedly fights and schemes to bring about Alfred's dream over the course of a long life. The epic conclusion to the globally bestselling historical series. After years fighting to reclaim his rightful home,Uhtred of Bebbanburg has returned to Northumbria.With his loyal band of warriors and a new woman by his side,his household is secure - yet Uhtred is far from safe.Beyond the walls of his impregnable fortress,a battle for power rages.To the south,King AEthelstan has unified the three kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia and East Anglia - and now eyes a bigger prize.To the north,King Constantine and other Scottish and Irish leaders seek to extend their borders and expand their dominion.Caught in the eye of the storm is Uhtred.Threatened and bribed by all sides, he faces an impossible choice: stay out of the struggle,risking his freedom,or throw himself into the cauldron of war and the most terrible battle Britain has ever experienced.Only fate can decide the outcome.The epic story of how England was made concludes in 'WAR LORD',the magnificent finale to the ' Last Kingdom' series.
