The Lords of the North
(The Last Kingdom Series, Book 3)
By Bernard Cornwell
Heading north with his lover, former nun Hild, he finds chaos as the Vikings battle among themselves to consolidate their hold on the region. At the heart of it are men from Uhtred’s past – Sven the One-Eyed and Kjartan the Cruel, men of vicious reputation. Still, he has matched such men before.
Then Uhtred suffers a betrayal to rival the treachery that deprived him of his birthright. It will leave him trapped with no hope of escape …
Uhtred of Bebbanburg’s mind is as sharp as his sword. A thorn in the side of the priests and nobles who shape his fate, this Saxon raised by Vikings is torn between the life he loves and the cause he has sworn to serve.
My Review:
These books keep getting better and better. I am shamelessly in love with a fictional /historical character! Uhtred’s portrayal is absolutely brilliant and I fear I may be becoming a little obsessed with him - so obsessed that I even Googled him!
This novel is a gripping as the previous two, and I could not put it down. Now on to Book 4.
