Titles in Collection & Description
The Empty Throne: Book 8 (The Last Kingdom Series) by Bernard Cornwell is a thrilling continuation of the epic saga that vividly brings to life the tumultuous history of early medieval England. Set in the 10th century, this gripping novel follows the exploits of Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a formidable warrior with divided loyalties and an indomitable spirit.
The story picks up with a weakened England, reeling from the death of King Alfred the Great and the threat of Viking invasions. With the kingdom's future hanging in the balance, Uhtred finds himself embroiled in political intrigue and conflict as rival factions vie for power. His loyalty is tested as he navigates the treacherous waters of succession, supporting Lady Æthelflaed's claim to rule Mercia.
Uhtred's journey is fraught with danger and personal sacrifice. As he battles enemies both old and new, he must confront his own past and destiny. The novel is rich with historical detail, vividly portraying the brutality and beauty of a world in flux, where warriors and kings shape the fate of nations.
Bernard Cornwell masterfully blends historical fact with fiction, crafting a narrative that is as educational as it is exhilarating. The Empty Throne is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring struggle for power and justice. Fans of historical fiction and the Last Kingdom Series will find this installment an unputdownable addition to Uhtred’s saga, filled with action, intrigue, and the harsh realities of a warrior's life.
