For Lord and Land (The Bernicia Chronicles, 8)
AD 651. War continues to rage across Anglo-Saxon England as kings indulge their passion for conquest. Oswiu of Bernicia looks for an excuse to invade neighboring Deira. Beobrand, Lord of Ubbanford, has defied his king, Oswiu, and taken his band of warriors south to help an old friend. His action, while understandable, gives Oswiu the excuse he needs to start the war he craves. Beobrand must face the political and military consequences of his action both as a leader and on a personal level.
This is the latest installment in the highly successful Bernicia Chronicles. Fans of Matthew Harffy will know what to expect: a taut plot and credible, exciting action sequences with strong characterization, bringing alive the entire life and times of the Anglo-Saxons. The book can be read as a standalone or, better still, as part of the series. I can’t wait for the next outing. Highly recommended.
