Uthred n'a que neuf ans quand il devient comte, à la mort de son père. Mais les Vikings qui ont massacré sa famille et pillé la terre de ses ancêtres ont un autre dessein pour lui. Uthred grandira à leurs côtés, respectera leurs dieux terrifiants et sanguinaires, combattra leurs ennemis et protégera leurs drakkars. Ecartelé entre un peuple d'adoption et son royaume d'origine, Uthred devra faire un choix déchirant : pourra-t-il bouter hors d'Angleterre ceux qui l'ont aimé comme un fils ? aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This is the exciting - yet little known - story of the making of England in the 9th and 10th centuries, the years in which King Alfred, his son and grandson defeated the Danish Vikings who had invaded and occupied three of England's four kingdoms. The story is seen through the eyes of Uhtred, a dispossessed nobleman, who is captured as a child by the Danes and then raised by them so that, by the time the Northmen begin their assault on Wessex, Alfred's kingdom and the last territory in English hands, Uhtred almost thinks of himself as a Dane. He certainly has no love for Alfred, whom he considers a pious weakling and no match for Viking savagery, yet when Alfred unexpectedly defeats the Danes and the Danes themselves turn on Uhtred, he has to decide which side he is on. By now he is a young man, in love, trained to fight and ready to take his place in the dreaded shield wall. Above all, though, he wishes to recover his father's land, the magical fort of Bebbanburg by the wild northern sea. This thrilling adventure - based on existing records of Bernard Cornwell's ancestors, depicts a time when law and order were ripped violently apart by a pagan assault on Christian England, an assault that came very close to destroying England altogether.
