AD 642. Anglo-Saxon Britain. A gripping, action-packed historical
thriller and the fifth instalment in the Bernicia Chronicles.
Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell. Oswald has reigned over
Northumbria for eight years and Beobrand has led the king to ever
greater victories. Rewarded for his fealty and prowess in battle,
Beobrand is now a wealthy warlord, with a sizable warband. Tales of
Beobrand's fearsome black-shielded warriors and the great treasure
he has amassed are told throughout the halls of the land. Many are
the kings who bow to Oswald. And yet there are those who look upon
his realm with a covetous eye. And there is one ruler who will
never kneel before him. When Penda of Mercia, the great killer of
kings, invades Northumbria, Beobrand is once more called upon to
stand in an epic battle where the blood of many will be shed in
defence of the kingdom. But in this climactic clash between the
pagan Penda and the Christian Oswald there is much more at stake
than sovereignty. This is a battle for the very souls of the people
of Albion. What readers are saying about the series: 'Historical
fiction doesn't get much better than this' ANGUS DONALD, author of
The Outlaw Chronicles. 'Matthew Harffy's tale of England in the
Dark Ages is nothing less than superb' HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY.
'Murder, betrayal and vengeance fuel tribal warfare and personal
combat. Beobrand is the warrior to follow' DAVID GILMAN.
