AD 838. Deep in the forests of Wessex, Dunston's solitary existence is shattered when he stumbles on a mutilated corpse.

Accused of the murder, Dunston must clear his name and keep the dead man's daughter alive in the face of savage pursuers desperate to prevent a terrible secret from being revealed. Rushing through Wessex, Dunston will need to use all the skills of survival garnered from a lifetime in the wilderness. And if he has any hope of victory against the implacable enemies on their trail, he must confront his past – becoming the man he once was and embracing traits he had promised he would never return to. The Wolf of Wessex must hunt again; honour and duty demand it.

Enjoyed Harffy's earlier series but it ran out of puff for me (sorry) and I returned book 6. I thoroughly enjoyed the series but like a lot of good things....a little formulaic and I tired of it.

This new book and setting is fresh and new. A different tangent to most "warrior stuff" as its hero is a senior cit...but this doesn't detract one iota, it enhances the reality of life off the grid.

The author is a painter of words, his description and clear love of the times is first rate. It felt as if I was there. His numerous historical asides, behaviours, beliefs and then legal systems is utterly absorbing.
The forest lore and deep love Duncan has for his world is warm and uplifting. A joy to read/listen to and become involved.

The narrator is sublime. Perfect, a great yet unintrusive story teller.

Give me more. NOW! PLEASE!

a MUST buy.
