A dispossessed young nobleman, married to a woman who hails from Wessex, Uhtred has little love for either, though for King Alfred he has none at all. They assemble the Great Army, whose one ambition is to conquer Wessex.
The rest have fallen to the Danish Vikings, a story told in The Last Kingdom, the New York Times bestselling novel in which Uhtred's tale began. In the late ninth century, Wessex is the last English kingdom. He has to make a choice: whether to fight for the Vikings, who raised him, or for King Alfred the Great of Wessex, who dislikes him. Uhtred is a Saxon, cheated of his inheritance and adrift in a world of fire, sword, and treachery.
