About this audiobook

The first installment of Bernard Cornwell’s New York Times bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit Netflix series.

In the middle years of the ninth century, the fierce Danes stormed onto British soil, hungry for spoils and conquest. Kingdom after kingdom fell to the ruthless invaders until but one realm remained. And suddenly the fate of all England—and the course of history—depended upon one man, one king.

From New York Times bestselling storyteller Bernard Cornwell comes a rousing epic adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love, and battle as seen through the eyes of a young warrior who straddled two worlds.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoy the historic perspective Bernard Cornwell gives to his stories. This book definitely felt authentic to me. Which may seem a bit dry to some, but for myself, it allows me to feel emersed in the story.

always listen to/ read Bernard Cornwell whenever you dont know what to read

OMG. One of the best audiobooks I've ever heard.
