'Edoardo Albert's book is brilliant: hugely enjoyable, a galloping
plot with characters I care about - exactly the sort of thing I love to
read. . . . This was a joy to read from start to finish.' Conn Iggulden,
author of the Conqueror and Emperor series.
Oswald's head is on a spike. Can Oswiu avoid the same fate?
The great pagan king Penda set a trap, and when the brothers Oswiu and
Oswald walked in, only one came back alive.
Rumours abound that the place where Oswald's body is strung up has
become sacred ground a site of healing for those who seek it. Oswald's
mother believes he will protect those he loves, even beyond the grave.
So she asks the impossible of Oswiu: to journey to the heart of Penda's
kingdom and rescue the body that was stolen from them.
Oswiu: King of Kings is the masterful conclusion to The Northumbrian
Thrones trilogy.
