About this ebook
PREORDER MATTHEW HARFFY'S UNMISSABLE NEW BERNICIA CHRONICLES NOVEL BANE OF BERNICIA NOW!
When Northumbria is invaded by a fearsome foe, Anglo-Saxon warlord Beobrand must answer the call to arms once more.
AD 642. King Oswald has ruled Northumbria for eight years, and warlord Beobrand has brought him ever greater victories. Beobrand is now wealthy, with a sizeable warband of his own, and tales of his fearsome black-shielded warriors are told throughout the land.
Many are the kings who bow to Oswald, yet there are those who covet his realm. And one ruler will never kneel before him: Penda of Mercia, the great killer of kings.
When Penda invades Northumbria, Beobrand must command his men in an epic battle where much blood will be shed in defence of the kingdom. But in this climactic clash between pagan Penda and Christian Oswald, there is much more at stake than sovereignty. This is a battle for the very souls of the people of Albion.
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.
