The last unvanquished piece of England, Wessex is eyed hungrily by the fearsome Viking conquerors. A dispossessed young nobleman, Uhtred is tied to the imperiled land by birth and marriage but was raised by the Danish invaders—and he questions where his allegiance must lie. But blood is his destiny, and when the overwhelming Viking horde attacks out of a wintry darkness, Uhtred must put aside all hatred and distrust and stand beside his embattled country's staunch defender—the fugitive King Alfred.

The Pale Horseman is a gripping, monumental adventure that gives breathtaking life to one of the most important epochs in English history—yet another masterwork from New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell.

Batalha sensacional

Continuando com a vida de guerreiro de Uhtred que presta juramento ao Rei Alfred que agora escondido num Pântano vê seu reino ameaçado.
No início da um nervoso do tratamento do Alfred para com o Uhtred, porém depois, Uhtred demonstra mais uma vez seu valor... mas Alfred sempre com o pé atrás por ele ser pagão.
Livro super recomendado e a batalha final é muito boa!
