Schyluje se totiž k další řeži, která může rozhodnout o osudu Anglie – a u té on rozhodně nehodlá chybět…Třetí díl dobrodružné ságy z raně středověké Anglie, která se stala předlohou úspěšného televizního seriálu Poslední království.„Cornwell opět potvrzuje, že historické fikci kraluje.

Po letech bojů žije Uhtred z Bebbanburgu ve své nedobytné tvrzi a netouží po ničem jiném, než aby mohl dožít své dny zde, ve svém pravém domově, o nějž po celý život bojoval. To mu však osud nedopřává. Vývoj v Británii pomalu, ale jistě spěje k rozhodujícímu střetu tří hlavních sil: Sasů v čele s králem Athelstanem, Skotů s králem Constantinem a Norů, usazených v severní Northumbrii a především v Irsku, které shromáždil ambiciózní vůdce Anlaf. A právě Uhtredova Northumbrie se stává uzlovým bodem tohoto střetu, jenž vyústí v rozhodující bitvu u Brunanburhu. Válečník, kterým Cornwell celou sérii uzavírá, představuje velkolepé finále impozantního příběhu o vzniku Anglie.

An extraordinary and dramatic depiction of the legendary battle of Agincourt from the number one historical novelistAzincourt, fought on October 25th 1415, St Crispin''s Day, is one of England’s best-known battles, in part through the brilliant depiction of it in Shakespeare''s Henry V, in part because it was a brilliant and unexpected English victory and in part because it was the first battle won by the use of the longbow – a weapon developed by the English which enabled them to dominate the European battlefields for the rest of the century.Bernard Cornwell’s Azincourt is a vivid, breathtaking and meticulously well-researched account of this momentous battle and its aftermath. From the varying viewpoints of nobles, peasants, archers, and horsemen, Azincourt skilfully brings to life the hours of relentless fighting, the desperation of an army crippled by disease and the exceptional bravery of the English soldiers.
