The Flame Bearer (The Last Kingdom Series Book 10)

Bernard Cornwell, Harper-Collins, £20

In Cornwell’s latest action-packed novel, Britain is in a state of uneasy peace and England’s greatest warrior, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, at last has the chance to take back the home his traitorous uncle stole from him many years previously. This book really packs a punch.

OUR VERDICT 9/10
