Battles Quote by Bernard Cornwell

“What happens to you, Uhtred, is what you make happen. You will grow, you will learn the sword, you will learn the way of the shield wall, you will learn the oar, you will give honor to the gods, and then you will use what you have learned to make your life good or bad.” quote by Bernard Cornwell — Download Open image
