The Pale Horseman

Chapter 1: The Pale Horseman "Harry Potter," he said very softly. His voice might have been part of the spitting fire. "The Boy-Who-Lived." None of the Death Eaters moved.

The Pale Horseman is the second book in Sharpe author Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom (formerly known as the Saxon Stories) series. It picks up where The Last Kingdom leaves off and culminates with the Battle of Ethandun (modern-day Edington), the battle in which Alfred the Great defeated the Norsemen and saved Wessex.
