Warriors of the Storm

In the ninth installment of Bernard Cornwell’s acclaimed series, a fragile peace holds sway in Wessex, Mercia, and East Anglia as King Alfred’s children, Edward and Aethelflaed, navigate political tensions. Northern threats loom, particularly from Northmen led by the fierce Ragnall Ivarson, prompting Uhtred of Bebbanburg to grapple with loyalty, family ties, and the call to arms from his fortified stronghold in Chester. As alliances shift and the stakes rise, Uhtred’s courage may be the key to overcoming the mounting challenges threatening the kingdoms.
