Book I of The Last Kingdom. This is the story of the making of England in the 9th and 10th centuries, the years in which King Alfred the Great, his son and grandson defeated the Danish Vikings who had invaded and occupied three of England’s four kingdoms, as told by Uhtred, a dispossessed nobleman, captured as a child by the Danes and then raised by them. By the time the Northmen begin their assault on Wessex, Uhtred almost thinks of himself as a Dane. He has no love for Alfred, whom he considers a pious weakling and no match for Viking savagery, yet when Alfred unexpectedly defeats the Danes, circumstances force Uhtred to choose a side. He is young, he is n love, trained to fight and ready to take his place in battle but above all, he wishes to recover his father’s land, the fort of Bebbanburg by the wild northern sea.
