In the wild lands of Norway, Hunlaf must quell a violent revolt in
Matthew Harffy's new historical adventure. Northumbria, AD 794.
Those who rule the seas, rule the land. None know the truth of this
more than the Vikings. To compete with the seafaring raiders, the
king of Northumbria orders the construction of his own longships
under the command of oath-sworn Norseman, Runolf. When the Vikings
attack again, the king sends cleric turned warrior, Hunlaf, on a
mission to persuade the king of Rogaland into an alliance. But
Hunlaf and Runolf have other plans; kin to seek out, old scores to
settle, and a heretical tome to find in the wild lands of the
Norse. Their voyage takes them into the centre of a violent
uprising. A slave has broken free of his captors and, with
religious fervour, is leading his fanatical followers on a rampage
– burning all in his path. Hunlaf must brave the Norse
wilderness, and overcome deadly foes, to stop this madman. Can he
prevent a night of flames and slaughter? Reviews for Matthew
