Praise for
MATTHEW HARFFY

‘Harffy is a master of the Dark Age thriller... A Time for Swords is a bold opening to yet another enthralling series. It promises to be one heck of a ride.’
Theodore Brun,
author of A Mighty Dawn

‘Terrific white-knuckle action, absolutely gripping storytelling... Can’t wait for the next one. Highly recommended!’
Angus Donald,
author of Robin Hood and the Caliph’s Gold

‘Nothing less than superb... The tale is fast paced and violence lurks on every page.’
Historical Novel Society

‘Harffy’s writing just gets better and better... He is really proving himself the rightful heir to Gemmell’s crown.’
Jemahl Evans,
author of The Last Roundhead

‘A tale that rings like sword song in the reader’s mind. Harffy knows his genre inside out.’
Giles Kristian,
author of Camelot
