The Last Kingdom

King Alfred’s health is failing. As time runs out for him to unite the kingdoms of England, his greatest warrior Uhtred must lead Wessex in battle against the fearsome Dane Bloodhair.

When Uhtred commits a serious crime, Alfred turns events to his advantage but is outraged when Uhtred retaliates with an unforgivable act of violence.

Aethelwold’s quest to unite the Danes and topple Alfred’s dynasty advances but when Beocca tells Uhtred of a friend in peril, Uhtred is torn between his duty to the Saxons and his ties to the Danes.

While Alfred is distracted by the impending war, Haesten sets out on a mission of revenge - Uhtred must protect Aethelflaed at all costs.

Left reeling by devastating news, Uhtred risks everything to reclaim Skade and end her curse.

In the wake of the bloody battle of Beamfleot, Uhtred and Brida reunite on a mission.

Uhtred and his men make a last attempt to reclaim Skade while her power disrupts the Dane camp; jealousy between Haesten and Bloodhair leads to a fight to the death.

Winchester prepares to celebrate the royal wedding but the power vacuum that will follow Alfred’s death proves divisive.

Alfred’s condition worsens; after an emotional meeting with the king, Uhtred has a decision to make.

As Winchester mourns, the Danes march to seize Wessex but before the Saxons meet them in battle they must face enemies from within their ranks.
