It is a time of political turmoil once more in the 10th century\n\u003cbr\u003e\nas the fading King Edward begins to lose control over his successors and their\n\u003cbr\u003e\nsupporters. There are two potential heirs—possibly more—and doubt over whether\n\u003cbr\u003e\nthe once separate states of Wessex and Mercia will hold together. Despite\n\u003cbr\u003e\nattempts at pulling him into the political fray, Uhtred of Bebbanburg cares\n\u003cbr\u003e\nsolely about his beloved Northumbria and its continuing independence from\n\u003cbr\u003e\nsouthern control.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBut an oath is a strong, almost sacred commitment and\n\u003cbr\u003e\nsuch a promise had been exchanged between Uhtred and Aethelstan, his onetime\n\u003cbr\u003e\ncompanion in arms and now a potential king. Uhtred was tempted to ignore the\n\u003cbr\u003e\ndemands of the oath and stay in his northern fastness, leaving the quarrelling\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAnglo-Saxons to sort out their own issues.  But an attack on him by a\n\u003cbr\u003e\nleading supporter of one of the candidates and an unexpected appeal for help\n\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom another, drives Uhtred with a small band of warriors south, into the battle\n\u003cbr\u003e\nfor kingship—and England’s fate.  ","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53668628726102,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780062563224_1.jpg?v=1778810961","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/bernard-cornwell-sword-of-kings-9780062563224","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
