'Extremely satisfying and rewarding, Dominion of Dust rampages across the page with slicing action' LoveReading
AD 797, Cyprus. Warrior-monk Hunlaf and his crew are on a voyage to acquire an important Christian relic before it falls into the hands of Byzantium's scheming Empress Eirene.
Hunlafβs crew receive unexpected help as they seek their treasure, but soon find themselves betrayed. About to leave for home empty-handed, the adventurers instead sail further east: to Jerusalem, the Holy Land, abundant in relics.
And dangerous intrigues.
Hunlaf and his friends will face a deadly race against time as they attempt to secure a holy treasure, outwit Byzantium's zealous agents, and avoid grisly deaths at the hands of the local rulers.
From bestselling author Matthew Harffy, A Time for Swords is an epic historical action-adventure series set during the dramatic Viking Age. The thrilling tale of Hunlaf, a monk who becomes a warrior following a devastating Viking attack, the series chronicles his daring quests through Early Medieval Europe. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Giles Kristian.
