THE UNMISSABLE NEW BERNICIA CHRONICLES NOVEL, BANE OF BERNICIA, AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW!

Greed and ambition threaten to tear the north of Anglo-Saxon England apart in this exciting historical adventure.

AD 651. War rages between the two kingdoms of Northumbria. Kin is pitted against kin and friend becomes foe as ambitious rulers vie for supremacy.

When warlord Beobrand of Ubbanford travels south into East Angeln to rescue a friend, he unwittingly tilts the balance of power in the north, setting in motion events that will lead to a climactic confrontation between Oswiu of Bernicia and Oswine of Deira.

While Beobrand is entangled in this clash of kings, his most trusted warrior, Cynan, finds himself on a rescue mission of his ownt. Riding into the mountainous region of Rheged to aid someone from his past, Cynan soon faces implacable enemies.

With death and betrayal at every turn, both Beobrand and Cynan have their loyalties tested to breaking point as they confront their pasts. Who will survive the battle for a united Northumbria, and who will pay the ultimate price for lord and land?

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.
