Forest of Foes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781801102346)

NOW AVAILABLE TO PREORDER: MATTHEW HARFFY'S THRILLING NEW HISTORICAL ADVENTURE NOVEL, DOMINION OF DUST!

In this action-packed Bernicia Chronicles adventure, Beobrand finds himself in a dangerous foreign land, caught between warring factions.

AD 652. Beobrand has been ordered to lead a group of pilgrims to the holy city of Rome. Chief among them is Wilfrid, a novice of the church with some surprisingly important connections. Taking only Cynan and some of his best men, Beobrand hopes to make the journey through Frankia quickly and return to Northumbria without delay, though the road is long and perilous.

But where Beobrand treads, menace is never far behind. The lands of the Merovingian kings are rife with intrigue. The queen of Frankia is unpopular and has made powerful enemies. Soon Wilfrid, and Beobrand, are caught up in sinister plots against the royal house.

Dark forces will stop at nothing to seize control of the Frankish throne, and after interrupting a brutal ambush in a forest, Beobrand is thrown into a deadly race for survival through foreign lands where he cannot be sure who is friend and who is foe.

The only certainty is that if he is to save his men, thwart the plots, and unmask his enemies, blood will flow.
