About this listen

635AD. Anglo-Saxon Britain. A gripping, action-packed historical thriller and third instalment in The Bernicia Chronicles. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell.

Oswald is now King of Northumbria. However, his plans for further alliances and conquests are quickly thrown into disarray when his wedding to a princess of Wessex is interrupted by news of a Pictish uprising.

Rushing north, Oswald leaves Beobrand to escort the young queen to her new home. Their path is fraught with danger and uncertainty, Beobrand must try to unravel secrets and lies if they are to survive.

Meanwhile, old enemies are closing in, seeking brutal revenge. Beobrand will give his blood and blade in service to his king, but will that be enough to avert disaster and save his kith and kin from the evil forces that surround them?

Pretty well spellbound by Harffy’s story and style throughout this series so far! Well woven scenes and visuals of that era, characters with many colours that he would have you second-guess, empathise and adore! Love the historical insights to the land and language! Looking forward to pushing forward in the epic, illustrious adventure!

Epic!!

Characters are developing, some humor is being included and the plot and dialogue is improving. Going to have a crack at the next in the series.

Good Yarn

Particularly like the character development and camaraderie. Terrific narrator and an author who clearly loves the period and is expert in it.

I'm hooked. Up there with the best.
