Interview with Matthew Harffy Author Bio Matthew Harffy lived in Northumberland as a child and the area had a great impact on him. The rugged terrain, ruined castles and rocky coastline made it easy to imagine the past. Decades later, a documentary about Northumbria’s Golden Age sowed the kernel of an idea for a series of historical fiction novels that became THE BERNICIA CHRONICLES. Matthew…

A Night of Flames by Matthew Harffy (A Time for Swords #2)

My Review (5*) Hunlaf is back and I thoroughly enjoyed this new book. This monk-warrior, his quest for a mythical book called The Tree of Life" and his cousin who disappeared during a Viking raid. The old man he is now look back to the past and tell what happened, how ho found hard to understand his true calling, and saw and lived through fascinating adventures. This book is quite slow burning, it takes a bit for the adventure to start but it was compelling and fascinating. There's not a lot of historical documentation about the times when Hunlaf was living but the author did an excellent job in mixing facts and fiction. Even if Hunlaf is a fictional character he could have been one of the uncountable monks who travelled and were warrior and monk at the same time. The author did a good job in developing the characters and the background. The storytelling is excellent and kept my attention alive even if it's a bit slow at the beginning. I can't wait to read the next book as it's full of promises and new places. Highly recommended. Many thanks to Aries and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Synopsis: A wild land. A lethal fanatic. A violent revolt.

Northumbria, AD 794. Those who rule the seas, rule the land. None know the truth of this more than the Vikings. To compete with the 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, on a mission to persuade the king of Rogaland into an 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. Their voyage takes them 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 – burning all in his path. Hunlaf must brave the Norse wilderness, and overcome deadly foes, to stop this madman. Can he prevent a night of flames and slaughter?

Best of 2017

Well, then. It’s sure that time of year when people list their lists of lists of the previous year. And I’m no different.

As previous years, this is a list of the book I read in 2017. Some Thriller, some Non-Fiction, some Historical Fiction, I think you’ll find. It was a year where I again tried to get up to date with all the series I have going. I’ve nearly made it. And it explains why so many…
