Publisher's Summary
The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller
IN THE FINAL RECKONING, CHOOSE YOUR SIDE CAREFULLY…
The epic conclusion to the globally bestselling historical series.
After years fighting to reclaim his rightful home, Uhtred of Bebbanburg has returned to Northumbria. With his loyal band of warriors and a new woman by his side, his household is secure – yet Uhtred is far from safe. Beyond the walls of his impregnable fortress, a battle for power rages.
To the south, King Æthelstan has unified the three kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia and East Anglia – and now eyes a bigger prize. To the north, King Constantine and other Scottish and Irish leaders seek to extend their borders and expand their dominion.
Caught in the eye of the storm is Uhtred. Threatened and bribed by all sides, he faces an impossible choice: stay out of the struggle, risking his freedom, or throw himself into the cauldron of war and the most terrible battle Britain has ever experienced. Only fate can decide the outcome.
The epic story of how England was made concludes in WAR LORD, the magnificent finale to the Last Kingdom series.

Book 13 of 13
A brilliant end to a wonderfully written saga. With the historical note at the end not only included - But read by the author.

A perfect ending for a perfect saga.
No one writes like Bernard Cornwell. That what I think every time I read any other medieval saga. No one knows how to build characters, nor describes fight scenes, nor can build up epic moments like him. I have read several other books written by BC and I believe he will always be my favourite writer.

Great historical fiction
I like the down to earth description of battle and everyday life. I also liked the author’s take on the nobles, and the clergy

Happy and sad at the same time
I loved this series right from the first page of the first book. Thirteen books later it is still entertaining. Matt Bates was perfect for this series. Thank Mr. Cromwell for the many hours of entertainment and history. I would love to see a continuing of the next son of Utred and the possible adventures he could have .... hint hint

Thank You Mr. Cornwell
Loved and would always love to hear more. I have truly enjoyed the education while being completely entertained. I have made it point to seek out many of the battle fields described in your books and thank you for placing us on this informative journey.

The End of an Era
I’m bereft!! Having just finished the last instalment of the Uhtred of Bebbingberg saga, I feel as if I’ve lost a friend. Thank you Bernard Cornwell for all the joy.

A conclusion of masterpiece
I have listened to all of Cornwell’s Last Kingdom Series now. And I must say, they are nothing short of a masterpiece. Every book transcends into the next and the next thereafter. Because of the weight behind his last 12 books, I was expecting “War Lord” to be no less than magnificent. My expectations were met in a vivid experience which Matt Bates brought to life.

Fantastic Ending to the Last Kingdom Series
Great ending to the entire series. I have read every one of the books starting with The Last Kingdom and this one is as good as the others. I would recommend them all as well is the Netflix series.
The narration of this final book is outstanding. is outstanding.
