The Last Kingdom Books in Order

Part companion and part story collection, this book mixes Uhtred-era background with recipes inspired by Anglo-Saxon life. It’s a fun side trip for Last Kingdom fans, with short narrative pieces and practical cooking ideas.

England is close to being one kingdom, but rival heirs and old enemies still threaten to tear it apart. Older, battle-scarred Uhtred rides again, gambling everything on one last campaign to secure the future.

As new rulers rise, Uhtred tries to keep a fragile peace along the border while ambitious men plot in the shadows. A fresh Viking threat and royal politics force him into choices that could break alliances he’s built for decades.

Uhtred faces a new enemy in the north—a leader willing to use fear and faith as weapons. While kings argue over crowns and borders, Uhtred fights to protect his people and keep England from sliding back into chaos.

Uhtred has spent a lifetime serving other kings, but his deepest goal remains: reclaiming Bebbanburg. When war opens a narrow window, he risks everything on a return to the fortress that defines his identity.

A powerful Viking army returns, and the fragile peace of England shatters. Uhtred must gather allies fast and hold a critical line, because one defeat could undo decades of hard-won unity.

After a ruler’s death, Mercia becomes the prize in a dangerous political struggle. Uhtred is pulled into court intrigue and battlefield threats alike, trying to place the right leader without starting a civil war.

Falsely accused and pushed to the edge of outlawry, Uhtred is forced to fight for his name as much as for his land. With friends in danger and enemies closing in, he chooses a risky path back to power.

Alfred’s health fails as war with the Danes flares again, and the question of succession turns deadly. Uhtred is trapped behind enemy lines with a vital mission, where one mistake could cost kingdoms.

With England’s borders still uncertain, Uhtred rides south into a campaign where raids and revenge blur together. Betrayal and shifting alliances force him to decide who he can trust—and what kind of leader he wants to be.

London is being rebuilt as a Saxon stronghold, but Viking attacks and internal plots threaten to tear it down. Uhtred is asked to defend the city, balancing faith, politics, and hard steel in the streets.

Uhtred heads into Northumbria, caught between rival kings and Viking warlords who all want his sword. Far from Alfred’s court, he fights to build his own power while Bebbanburg still pulls at him.

Wessex is on the brink as the Danes strike hard, and Alfred’s hope for a united land looks like a fantasy. Uhtred must choose between the people who raised him and the king who needs him—under siege and betrayal.

In ninth-century England, Uhtred is a Saxon noble’s son raised by Danes, torn between two cultures. When war threatens Alfred’s Wessex, he must choose where his loyalties lie—and what it will cost to reclaim his home.
