Sword Song by Bernard Cornwell

Uhtred must choose between his oath and a crown

Very Good Condition – minor cover and edge wear.

Uhtred of Bebbanburg, Saxon-born and raised by Vikings, is offered a crown of his own but remains bound by the oath he gave King Alfred of Wessex. Alfred dreams of an England free from Danish rule and orders Uhtred to capture London, then surrender it to the king’s ambitious son-in-law Aethelred. Uhtred agrees reluctantly, knowing that Aethelred’s spirited wife Aethelflaed has a fate closely entwined with his own. Bernard Cornwell combines brutal battles, divided loyalties and sharp political intrigue in a gripping story of a warrior torn between the life he loves and the people he has sworn to serve.
