About this listen

In the wild lands of Norway, Hunlaf must quell a vicious slave uprising in Matthew Harffy's latest historical adventure.

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 violent sea-faring raiders, the king of Northumbria orders the construction of his own longships under the command of oath-sworn Norseman, Runolf.

When the Northern sea wolves attack for the second year, the king sends cleric turned warrior, Hunlaf, on a mission across the Whale Road to persuade the king of Rogaland into an alliance. But Runolf and Hunlaf have other plans: old scores to settle, kin to seek out 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, he 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. To fail would see too many die....

Another enthralling story from Matthew Harffy

Happy to find another, in the start of a new series by Matthew, read by Barnaby. Well written epic about monks, sword fights, Vikings and in this case a mad prophet plus equally well read by Barnaby Edwards. I now go searching for books read by Barnaby as he adds a certain something to a story with his reading.
On a par with the greats of historical fiction although I would ask his proof reader to reduce the amount of repetition Matthew pads his books with. I don't need reminding in every chapter about the battle lust, the regret, the loss. I get it. None the less another enjoyable saga on what is shaping up to be another multi volume tale of adventure, history, travel and blood letting.

Historical suspense

a gripping story well performed. You feel for all the characters and want to keep going to find out what happened. If you are a fan of The Last Kingdon series this is a great choice

Great Viking period adventure

Characters that seem like they could be real people. Fictional story anchored in well researched facts and fits a real timeline of history. Excellent narration / performance by the reader too.
