PREORDER BANE OF BERNICIA NOW - THE THRILLING NEW BERNICIA CHRONICLES ADVENTURE!

Anglo-Saxon warlord Beobrand must navigate the caprices of kings as he fights for his honour and his life. The unmissable new Bernicia Chronicles novel from Matthew Harffy.

Returning from a dangerous mission to Rome, warlord Beobrand looks forward to peace at home, but bloodshed remains his constant companion.

While bringing criminals to justice Beobrand believes he has discovered a secret alliance between two of Bernicia's enemies: the Picts and the Mercians.

He hastens to warn his king, but finds Oswiu distracted, preparing to marry his eldest son to the daughter of former adversary Penda of Mercia, who remains as slippery as ever.

Dismayed, Beobrand finds himself blamed for breaking the truce with the Mercians, and must fight once more for his life. Worse, Penda insists on taking Oswiu's young son as a hostage.

Beobrand is surprised when Queen Eanflæd concocts a plot to rescue her son and orders him to take part. It will take all their guile to achieve their goal... and keep their heads, when half the kingdoms of Albion want Bernicia destroyed.

A gripping Anglo-Saxon adventure perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and David Gemmell.
