Wolf of Wessex by Matthew Harffy

6 August 2020 By Editor

AD 838.

Buy Wolf of Wessex by Matthew Harffy

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 in paperback on 6 August, 2020.
