Dear Mr. Cornwell: I just completed Lords of the North, and I just wanted to thank you for another very enjoyable read. I’m looking forward to Sword Song. I was amused and gladdened by the prophecies regarding Uhtred’s sons’ and daughter’s achievements, with the implied prediction that this will be a nice, long series. Like many, I was sorry to see the warlord series end, as it naturally did, with the death of Arthur, and am happy you are setting the groundwork for something more epic in length. Best wishes, Michael N.
