In this spectacular debut novel, adventure and agony, bloodshed and betrayal collide in the Anglo-Saxon world.
AD 633, Northumbria. Beobrand, a young outsider in the kingdom of Bernicia, joins the household of King Edwin. He must soon learn the skills of a warrior to defend the war-ravaged kingdom, a land rife with danger as warlords vie for supremacy.
Amongst the blood and betrayals, Beobrand learns of his brother's murder, and relentlessly pursues his enemies as he seeks deadly revenge.
Perilous challenges will transform Beobrand from a callow youth into a warrior who stands strong in the clamour and gore of battle. But can he wreak the vengeance he craves without sacrificing his honour... and his soul?
From bestselling author MATTHEW HARFFY, the Bernicia Chronicles are gripping historical action-adventure novels set in Anglo-Saxon Britain and beyond. The epic story of warlord Beobrand and his life of battle and bloodshed, guile and glory, the Bernicia Chronicles are perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and David Gemmell.

Plot plodded like an ox pulling a cart through mud
While the action was well-written, too many pages were wasted on the hero’s recovery from wounds. As a result, the plot constantly bogged down.
