Summary
A thrilling historical western set in 1890s Oregon, from the author of the critically acclaimed Bernicia Chronicles. An English soldier turned policeman escapes to the American West for a new future, but life on the frontier proves far harder than he ever imagined...
A man can flee from everything but his own nature.
1890. Lieutenant Gabriel Stokes of the British Army left behind the horrors of war in Afghanistan for a role in the Metropolitan Police. Though he rose quickly through the ranks, the squalid violence of London’s East End proved just as dark and oppressive as the battlefield.
With his life falling apart, and longing for peace and meaning, Gabriel leaves the grime of London behind and heads for the wilderness and wide open spaces of the American West.
He soon realises that the wilds of Oregon are far from the idyll he has yearned for. The Blue Mountains may be beautiful, but with the frontier a complex patchwork of feuds and felonies, and ranchers as vicious as any back alley cutthroat in London, Gabriel finds himself unable to escape his past and the demons that drive him. Can he find a place for himself on the far edge of the New World?

What a ride!
I love me a western, I really do. So when I heard one of my favourite authors was writing one I was already sold. Things that you are excited for often tend not to live up to expectations. Not this novel, Matthew Harffy’s distinctive voice flows throughout the novel despite the drastic shift from early medieval Europe to the late 19th century American west. Still a Matthew Harffy novel without a doubt and I urge anyone sitting on their longship or behind their fortress walls to take the leap and head west. Being from the uk and growing up with images of the awe inspiring landscapes of America it really spoke to that inner child that reads simply because he still longs for adventure. Barnaby Edwards is a top draw narrator and absolutely nails this performance switching from his quint essentially British style to the gruff frontiersman and back without missing a beat. Incredible story from an incredible author can’t wait to see where Gabriel Stokes heads next.
