The Pale Horseman Summary

The Pale Horseman (The Last Kingdom Series, Book 2) by Bernard Cornwell

The second book in the epic and bestselling series that has gripped millions.

A hero will be forged from this broken land.

As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world.

A Saxon raised by Vikings. A pagan fighting for a Christian King. The conflict at the heart of a hero will be played out in the fight for England.

It is 877. Across the kingdoms of Britain the Danes are gaining strength. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a pagan warrior, must decide who he will align with: the Vikings who raised him or Alfred, King of the West Saxons.

As the Danes make for Wessex and threaten to destroy the kingdom, Uhtred will forge an uneasy alliance with the king, to lead the last remaining Saxon army in a battle that will be a fight for the very existence of England.

Praise for The Pale Horseman:

Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail

'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer

It is stirring stuff, and few writers are better qualified than Cornwell to do justice to the excitement of the timesNinth-century Britain and a master of storytelling it is a marriage made in heaven. Sunday Telegraph

Cornwells mastery of historical sources and his aptitude for battle scenes is well establishedthe language, and particularly the dialogue, is raw and unarchaic, rich in insults and Anglo-Saxon expletives. Times Literary Supplement
