Thanks for the thread, hermetic.

This was the thirteenth and final book in the Saxon series. Lord Uhtred is in his sixties and living in his beloved Bebbanburg Castle. All around him, however, is political intrigue among factions interested in controlling Northumbria. King Aethelstan of the Saxons, and also the Scots, and Norse factions all have designs on Bebbanburg Castle and Northumbria. Lord Uhtred doesn't know if he can trust anybody. It comes down to a climactic battle for control of England (or Englaland, as they call it). After having read all 13 books, this turned out to be a very good way to end the series.

Hermetic - I'll give you more thoughts on this.
