Produktbeschreibung
Entangled in shifting alliances, a young English warrior fights for love, honour and survival in blood-soaked Northumbria. England, 1066. In a remote Northumbrian village, young Oswulf is to become an elite warrior for the English king. But as English, Norse and Norman forces wage war against each other to secure control over Northumbria, Oswulf is caught in a perilous web of fickle loyalities and relentless ambition that drive friend and foe alike. Shaken by the excesses of his first battles, Oswulf's faith in his chosen path wavers as the Normans tighten their grip on England. Too late does he discover that revenge is a murderous master and that he cannot honour his obligation without sacrificing everything. Duty calls, but only destiny can save him. Son of Mercia meets The Last Kingdom - Fans of Bernard Cornwell, MJ Porter and Matthew Harffy will love this gripping tale of courage, loyalty and betrayal.
