Warlord Beobrand finds himself besieged in a mighty fortress in this action-packed Dark Ages adventure set in Anglo-Saxon Britain.

A well-researched, enjoyable historical fiction set in the familiar world of Dark Ages Britain. There are bloody battles, intriguing characters and plenty of oaths that need fulfilling... A solid and fun read that allows you to glimpse into the dark world of 7th-century Britain. The fights are intense and engaging

Matthew Harffy's tale of England in the Dark Ages is nothing less than superb... The tale is fast paced and violence lurks on every page

A tale that rings like sword song in the reader's mind. Harffy knows his genre inside out and The Cross and the Curse proves it
