AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW: BANE OF BERNICIA, THE UNMISSABLE NEW BERNICIA CHRONICLES ADVENTURE FROM MATTHEW HARFFY!
Warlord Beobrand finds himself besieged in a mighty fortress in this action-packed Dark Ages adventure set in Anglo-Saxon Britain.
AD 647. War hangs heavy in the hot summer air as Penda of Mercia marches into the northern kingdom of Bernicia. Caught unawares, the Bernician forces are besieged within the great fortress of Bebbanburg.
It falls to warlord Beobrand of Ubbanford to mount the stronghold's defence, but even while battle rages, powerful enemies seek long-desired vengeance against him. As unknown assassins close in, Beobrand must also struggle with conflicting oaths and the dreadful pull of a love that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.
With Northumbria's future in jeopardy, can Beobrand withstand the powers that beset him and find a path to victory against all odds?
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.

Reviews

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
