Description

PREORDER MATTHEW HARFFY'S THRILLING NEW NOVEL, DOMINION OF DUST - AVAILABLE NOW!

Warlord Beobrand travels to holy Rome... but sinister plots and bloody conflict line his path once more. A thrilling Anglo-Saxon adventure from Matthew Harffy


AD 652. After surviving dark intrigues at the Frankish royal court, Beobrand is finally able to undertake the mission his queen set him: to escort a party of pilgrims to the holy city of Rome.

Yet Beobrand's life is never easy. His party includes a scheming churchman whose ambition is boundless, and a mysterious envoy from Frankia. The roads heading south are filled with danger, and Beobrand soon finds himself reluctantly responsible for protecting pilgrims who have been attacked.

Confronting brigands and robbers at every turn, the party presses on towards the Eternal City. But when Beobrand reaches the glorious snakepit of ruins and relics that is Rome, his difficulties truly begin... and his homeland has never been further away.

'Harffy is the gold standard of historical action adventure.' Theodore Brun
'The rightful heir to Gemmell's crown.' Jemahl Evans
