Summary
Uhtred knew they were coming seconds before they descended on them from the tree lines.
Cold dread seized his heart, a full-grown panic that made him dizzy. This was an impossible position to defend, he knew it. He grabbed for the handle of his weapon and, for a fraction of a heartbeat, looked at Alfred, who was looking back at him with wide eyes, pale and fragile, clearly unprepared. Uhtred drew his sword.
“TO YOUR WEAPONS!” he shouted from the depth of his chest. “DEFEND THE KING WITH YOUR LIVES!”

Summary
“Alfred was obsessed by order, obsessed by the task of marshalling life’s chaos into something that could be controlled. He would do it by the church and by the law, which are much the same thing, but I wanted to see a pattern in the strands of life. In the end I found one, and it had nothing to do with any god, but with people. With the people we love.“
– Uhtred in ‘The Last Kingdom’ by Bernard Cornwell

Summary
Uhtred does not know, has never known, how to fight this threat that is neither wolf nor blade nor man. Alfred is all of them at once, a statue that refuses to bleed.
‘Who do you serve?’ Alfred asks, hardly above a whisper. ‘Do you serve me, Uhtred Ragnarsson?’
--
Uhtred does not know when Alfred became the ghost haunting his shadow.

Summary
Alfred continues toward the riverbank, dazed by the warmth and sweetness of the summer air. If God made man in His image, then surely Uhtred is Adam—naked and without shame.

Summary
The first time she had done it it had been like something out of a dream, some out of body experience where she could see herself going through the motions but it wasn’t her controlling them. It had been done out of a quiet rage and pain that could not be expressed in any other way.
No one suspected a thing. Alfred was a sickly man, therefore any bouts of sickness were not seen as unusual and not something to be looked deeply into.

Summary
"I am nothing to him, and he is nothing to me."
It had been a year since Beamfloat, and Uhtred had never wanted to see the king again. There was nothing left to be said, after the library. Nothing left but cold and ash - but when Alfred marched back into his life again, Uhtred, his men, and his king are swept up into a wild, whirlwind journey, across sea and ice, unbidden as always to the wild whims of fate.
Sequel to "Rumination" - but can be read as a stand-alone as well.
