    About this ebook

    '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.

    AD 633. Warlords battle across Dark Age Britain to become the first king of the English.

    In a land rife with upheaval and danger, young Beobrand arrives in Northumbria in search of vengeance and to find his place in the world. First, he must learn to fight with sword and shield, to defend himself and the war-ravaged kingdoms that become his home.

    Relentless in pursuit of his enemies, Beobrand faces challenges which transform him from a boy to a man, standing strong against his king's enemies in the clamour and gore of the shieldwall, and leading his men into the darkest of nights and the bloodiest of battles.

    But as adversaries old and new close in, can Beobrand save his kith and kin from the evil forces that surround them? And can he mete out the retribution he craves without sacrificing his honour... or even his soul?

    Collected in a single volume for the first time, the first three novels in the epic Bernicia Chronicles series, comprising:

    The Serpent Sword

    The Cross and the Curse

    Blood and Blade.

      My favorite story of all. Seems to oddly have some influence from Hereward, but this is great as it is done so well. Amazingly interesting characters that are made easy to love and hate, and tales of loss and bravery in the shield wall. I'm not left wanting in reading these books. I am only sad the series has to come to an end at book 6, I would love for this story to double that. It has kind of ruined audio books for me now because there is a void left that nothing else will fill, to include the Saxon stories. I hope whatever Mr. Harffy chooses to do when this story is finished will live up to this, and I ask Woden to help him get a TV Series of The Bernicia Chronicles.
