THE PALE HORSEMAN the compelling sequel to the bestselling THE LAST KINGDOM. Uhtred, Northumbrian born, raised a Viking and now married to a Saxon, is already a formidable figure and warrior. But at twenty he is still arrogant, pagan and headstrong, so not a comfortable ally for the thoughtful, pious Alfred. But these two, with Alfred's family and a few of Uhtred's companions, are apparently all that remains of the Wessex leadership after a disastrous truce. It is the lowest time for the Saxons.

Defeated comprehensively by the Vikings who now occupy most of England, Alfred and his surviving followers retreat to the trackless marshlands of Somerset. There, forced to move restlessly to escape betrayal or detection, using the marsh mists for cover, they travel by small boats from one island to another, hoping that they can regroup and find some more strength and support. They seek refuge in Athelney, a tidal swamp to which Alfred's kingdom has shrunk. Uhtred finds himself torn between his Danish foster brother and the winning Vikings, and his growing respect for the stubborn leadership of Alfred. He must decide whether to rebuild the Saxons' strength from his watery base and help them to take on the Vikings once more.

Bernard Cornwell is the battlefield bard of historical fiction, bringing swords, shields, and legendary warriors roaring to life on the page! Best known for The Last Kingdom series (yep, the one that inspired the hit Netflix show), Bernard is a master at turning history into high-stakes adventure—complete with fierce battles, gritty heroes, and plenty of shield-wall action.

Whether he’s following the rise of Uhtred of Bebbanburg or diving into the smoke and chaos of the Napoleonic Wars with Sharpe, Bernard writes with the kind of vivid detail that puts you right in the thick of it—mud, blood, and all.

With sharp wit, rich historical research, and a love for underdogs who don’t back down, his stories are perfect for anyone who likes their fiction epic, their characters bold, and their history with a side of mayhem.

If you’re ready to ride into battle (without leaving your reading chair), Bernard Cornwell is your fearless guide through the past
