Rent The Pale Horseman Tie-In

Synopsis

The second installment of Bernard Cornwell's bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England—"like Game of Thrones, but real" (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, a major television series airing in Fall 2015.

In a clash of heroes, the kingdom is born….

As the last unvanquished piece of England, Wessex is eyed hungrily by the fearsome Viking conquerors. Uhtred, a dispossessed young nobleman, 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.

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