Sword of Kings CD by Bernard Cornwell

Sword of Kings CD by Bernard Cornwell

The twelfth installment of Bernard Cornwell's New York Times bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England--superior entertainment that is both engaging and enlightening (Washington Post), and the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit Netflix series.

It is a time of political turmoil once more as the fading King Edward begins to lose control over his successors and their supporters. There are two potential heirs--possibly more--and doubt over whether the once separate states of Wessex and Mercia will hold together . Despite attempts at pulling him into the political fray, Uhtred of Bebbanburg cares solely about his beloved Northumbria and its continuing independence from southern control.

But an oath is a strong, almost sacred commitment and such a promise had been exchanged between Uhtred and Aethelstan, his onetime companion in arms and now a potential king. Uhtred was tempted to ignore the demands of the oath and stay in his northern fastness, leaving the quarrelling Anglo-Saxons to sort out their own issues. But an attack on him by a leading supporter of one of the candidates and an unexpected appeal for help from another, drives Uhtred with a small band of warriors south, into the battle for kingship--and England's fate.

Matt Bates is best known for the story collection Accidentally Clever. Prior to the book, he was best known for being tall and skinny. Matt has written stories and sketches and songs, but is often distracted by bright lights or butterflies. Sometimes people tell him he should do stand-up comedy. These people are sadly mistaken. He is the founder of the Commercial Parodies comedy website which might still be online somewhere, but it just as likely might not. Matt currently lives in Yucaipa, California, a city you have never heard of and have no idea how to properly pronounce. Matt also wrote the Harry Potter book series under the pseudonym J.K. Rowling.* (*This statement has not been independently verified by our lawyers and is almost certainly a blatant lie)
