Wolf of Wessex by Matthew Harffy

14 November 2019 By Editor

AD 838.

Buy

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 headlong 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 long-buried 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.

Wolf of Wessex by Matthew Harffy is published on 14 November, 2019.

Matthew writes for Historia about questions his research into the background to his new book has raised.

His Bernicia Chronicles book, Storm of Steel, is published in hardcover on 14 November, 2019, too.

Read Jemahl Evans‘s review of Storm of Steel.
