Dear Mr Cornwell, In Lords of the North, UK hardback, at the top of page 247 there is a conversation between Guthred and Uhtred regarding the state of Guthred’s kingdom and who he should ally himself to. It includes an interjection from Gisela (which is over-indented), and I can’t follow the passage. Is it a misprint? Quote: ‘…You’ve got me now, and you’ve got Earl Ragnar. He’s the best man in your kingdom. Look after him.’ ‘And you,’ he said, ‘I shall look after you. I promise.’ ‘I am,’ Gisela said. ‘Because you’re going to be my brother-in-law,’ I told Guthred. End quote. Thank you so much for your fine body of work. It’s a great achievement. I got frustrated waiting for the sequels to The Winter King and Harlequin to be published so I resisted reading The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman until I had Lords of the North as well. I’m twelve pages from the end of the book and it’s clearly nowhere near the end of the story, and I’ve now learned from this website that Sword Song is to be published but not until October. Damn. Fate is fate. Thanks again, David.
