The adventures of Uthred, Bernard Cornwell's Saxon hero, continue in the fifth book of the Saxon series. This story is anchored around two crucial battles between the Saxons and Danes – the Battle of Farnham and the decisive Battle of Benfleet (both around 894 AD). Between them Uthred breaks an oath, looses love, finds love, takes down a pirate, meets a Danish warrior witch, and has lots of adventures. Good stuff. England in its infancy is now taking shape in Cornwell's series.
