In einer blutigen Schlacht erobern die Engländer 1347 Calais - der lange Krieg mit Frankreich scheint beendet. Nur für Thomas von Hookton gibt es keine Rast. Seine Suche nach dem Heiligen Gral geht weiter. Sie führt ihn in die Gascogne, zum Schloss von Astarac, das einst seinen Vorfahren gehörte und heute Guy Vexille, dem Mörder seines Vaters. Genau an diesem Ort ist der Gral zum letzten Mal gesehen worden.

La saga épique à l'origine de la série Netflix "The Last Kingdom" IXe siècle. Uhtred, le fils dépossédé d'un seigneur anglais, a vaillamment repoussé aux côtés des siens l'impitoyable invasion viking. Désormais libéré de son allégeance au roi Alfred le Grand, mais sans terres ni titre, le jeune homme revient sur ses terres natales.

Der hersker en skrøbelig fred i Wessex, Mercia og East Anglia. Kong Edward og Æthelflaed regerer kongedømmerne, men under overfladen lurer et angreb fra de rastløse nordboere. Uhtred af Bebbanburg frygter de fjendtlige krigere, der bliver ledet af den frygtløse Ragnall Ivarson, for deres styrke kan vise sig at være overvældende. Samtidig er Ivarsons bror gift med Uhtreds datter, så hvem kan han stole på.

Året er 892, og Kong Alfred af Wessex er ved meget dårligt helbred. Hans tronarving, Edward, er fast besluttet på at fremstå som en stærk tronarving, men inderst inde er han fuld af frygt. Det får Danskerne til at lugte sejr, og Harald Blodhår sætter sejl mod England med over to hundrede skibe fyldt med sultne Vikinger.

England befinder sig i en tilstand af skrøbelig fred. Northumbriens vikingehersker, kong Sigtryggr, og saksernes dronning Æthelflaed har sluttet våbenhvile. Så nu får Englands største kriger, Uhtred af Bebbanburg, endelig chancen for at generobre det hjem, hans svigefulde onkel stjal fra ham for mange år siden. Men en ny fjende melder sig på banen, da den frygtindgydende Constantin af Skotland går ind i kampen om England, og den usikre fred er i fare for at udvikle sig til en altudslettende krig. Ingen fjende, ny eller gammel, skal dog afholde Uthred fra at kæmpe for sit hjem.
