As the Danes in the north, led by Viking Cnut Longsword, prepare to invade England, Uhtred, who is now out of favor with the new king, leads a band of outcasts north to recapture his old family home, but is soon drawn into the bloodiest battle yet that will decide the fate of the entire English nation.
"New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell returns to his epic Saxon Tales saga with The Pagan Lord, a dramatic story of divided loyalties, bloody battles, and the struggle to unite Britain.At the onset of the tenth century, England is in turmoil.
