From Bernard Cornwell, the undisputed master of historical fiction, comes the third volume in the exhilarating Saxon Chronicles.
The year is 878, and the Saxons of Wessex, under King Alfred, have defeated the Danes to keep their kingdom free. Uhtred, the dispossessed son of a Northumbrian lord, helped Alfred win that victory, but now he is disgusted by Alfred's lack of generosity. Uhtred flees Wessex, going north to search for his stepsister in the formidable stronghold of Dunholm.
Uhtred arrives in the north to discover rebellion, chaos, and fear. His only ally is Hild, a West Saxon nun fleeing her calling, and his best hope is his sword. Needing other allies he chooses Guthred, a seemingly deluded slave who believes he is a king. Together they cross the Pennines to where a desperate alliance of fanatical Christians and beleaguered Danes form a new army to confront the terrible Viking lords who rule Northumbria. Instead of victory Uhtred finds betrayal. But he also discovers love and redemption as he is forced to turn once again to his reluctant ally, Alfred the Great.
A breathtaking adventure, Lords of the North is also the story of the creation of modern England, as the English and Danes gradually become one people, adopting each other's languages and fighting side by side.
En cette année 878, le royaume d'Angleterre vibre à l'unisson de son roi : le Wessex s'est libéré du joug cruel des Vikings. Le comte Uthred, vingt ans à peine, a bataillé ferme, et il espère que le mérite de son épée sera récompensé. Hélas, Alfred le Grand n'est pas réputé pour ses largesses... Uthred, jeune comte sans domaine et guerrier sans bannière, retourne alors dans sa région natale et dirige une troupe de rebelles vers le nord afin de s'attribuer par la force les terres qui lui reviennent de plein droit. Les Seigneurs du Nord : un roman splendide qui s'appuie sur des événements historiques, illustrant magnifiquement les luttes et les péripéties de ces terres sauvages et sanglantes.
