Description
This
eighth entry in New
York Times
bestselling author
Bernard Cornwell's
epic Saxon Tales
series brings to
life the harrowing
and turbulent tale
of a nation torn
apart by sectarian
and religious
strife, a
political struggle
dominated by
dynastic
rivalries, and the
remarkable
strength that
elevates some
characters above
their time.
“My
name is Uhtred.
I am the son of
Uhtred, who was
the son of
Uhtred . . .”
Britain,
early tenth
century AD: a time
of change. There
are new raids by
the Vikings from
Ireland, and
turmoil among the
Saxons over the
leadership of
Mercia. A younger
generation is
taking over.
Æthelred,
the ruler of
Mercia, is dying,
leaving no
legitimate heir.
The West Saxons
want their king,
but Uhtred has
long supported
Æthelflaed, sister
to King Edward of
Wessex and widow
of Æthelred.
Widely loved and
respected,
Æthelflaed has all
the makings of a
leader—but could
Saxon warriors
ever accept a
woman as their
ruler? The stage
is set for rivals
to fight for the
empty throne.
Uhtred is
still suffering
from the wounds he
received in
battle. To recover
his strength he
needs to find the
sword that caused
the injury, but
lost amid the
battle’s blood and
mud, how could it
be traced and who
among the Vikings
or Saxons might be
holding it?
In the end
it is one
champion, one
hero, who will
destroy the new
Viking threat to
Mercia and
ultimately decide
the fate of
England.
In a
first-time
collaboration,
“Queen of Suspense”
Mary Higgins Clark
partners with
bestselling author
Alafair Burke to
deliver a brand new
suspense series
about a television
program featuring
cold case murders.
Television producer
Laurie Moran is
delighted when the
pilot for her
reality drama, Under
Suspicion, is
a success. Even
more, the program—a
cold case series
that revisits
unsolved crimes by
recreating them with
those affected—is
off to a fantastic
start when it helps
solve an infamous
murder in the very
first episode.
Now Laurie has the
ideal case to
feature in the next
episode of Under
Suspicion: the
Cinderella Murder.
When Susan Dempsey,
a beautiful and
multi-talented UCLA
student, was found
dead, her murder
raised numerous
questions. Why was
her car parked miles
from her body? Had
she ever shown up
for the acting
audition she was due
to attend at the
home of an
up-and-coming
director? Why does
Susan’s boyfriend
want to avoid
questions about
their relationship?
Was her
disappearance
connected to a
controversial church
that was active on
campus? Was she
close to her
computer science
professor because of
her technological
brilliance, or
something more? And
why was Susan
missing one of her
shoes when her body
was discovered?
With the help of
lawyer and Under
Suspicion host
Alex Buckley, Laurie
knows the case will
attract great
ratings, especially
when the former
suspects include
Hollywood’s elite
and tech
billionaires. The
suspense and drama
are perfect for the
silver screen—but is
Cinderella’s
murderer ready for a
close-up?
Together Mary
Higgins Clark and
Alafair Burke
deliver an exciting
publishing event:
the start of a
thrilling new series
guaranteed to keep
you guessing until
the last suspenseful
page. - See more at:
