false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170692873m/68526.jpg 68526 17 The Lords of the North begins soon after the events described in The Pale Horseman. Uhtred, having helped Alfred secure Wessex as an independent Saxon kingdom, returns north in an attempt to find his stepsister. Instead he discovers chaos, civil war and treachery in Northumbria. He takes the side of Guthred, once a slave and now a man who would be king, and in return expects Guthred's help in capturing Dunholm, the lair of the dark Viking lord, Kjartan. There is betrayal, romance and war, and all of it, as usual, based on real events. 891853 book 2006 Lords of the North total:825|5:285|4:402|3:123|2:13|1:3| 825 3426 1061 74 68526 0060888628 9780060888626 706 60 4.15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170692873m/68526.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/68526.Lords_of_the_North 4 1 false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu May 17 06:12:57 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 21:36:41 -0700 2007
