In this thrilling Viking Era adventure, warrior-monk Hunlaf must quell a violent revolt in Viking Norway.
Northumbria, AD 794. Those who rule the seas, rule the land. None know the truth of this more than the Vikings. To compete with those seafaring raiders, the king of Northumbria orders the construction of his own longships under the command of oath-sworn Norseman Runolf.
When the Vikings attack again, the king sends cleric turned warrior, Hunlaf, to Rogaland, Norway, to build a strategic alliance. But Hunlaf and Runolf have other plans: kin to seek out, old scores to settle, and a heretical tome to find in the wild lands of the Norse.
They voyage into the centre of a violent uprising. A slave has broken free of his captors and, with religious fervour, is leading his fanatical followers on a rampage. Hunlaf must brave the wilderness and overcome deadly foes to stop this madman. Can he prevent a night of flames and slaughter?
From bestselling author MATTHEW HARFFY, A Time for Swords is an epic historical action-adventure series set during the dramatic Viking Age. The thrilling tale of Hunlaf, a monk who becomes a warrior following a devastating Viking attack, the series chronicles his daring quests through Early Medieval Europe. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Giles Kristian.
