About this ebook

THE NEW A TIME FOR SWORDS NOVEL, DOMINION OF DUST, AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW!

in this thrilling Viking Era historical adventure, warrior-monk Hunlaf and his shipmates battle peril and intrigue on a dangerous voyage to Muslim Spain as they seek an object of immense power.


AD 796. Sailing in search of an object of great power, Hunlaf and his comrades are caught up in a violent skirmish against pirates.

After the bloody onslaught, an encounter with ships from Islamic Spain soon sees them escorted under guard to the city of Qadis, one of the jewels of the Emirate of al-Andalus and the true destination of their voyage.

Hunlaf believes the Emir's lands hold the key to his search, but there are dangerous games at play. He must walk a difficult path where friends and enemies alike are not always what they seem - and where a weapon deadlier than any yet seen could change the future of all the kingdoms in Europe.

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.

I loved the third installment of this series and have thoroughly enjoyed reading Hunolf's development as a killer with a conscious. All of Matthew Harffy's characters in this series are vibrant and interesting and and I am genuinely invested in their fates. And his historical accuracy and ability to recreate the past is top notch. This series and basically anything Harffy writes definitely stands out as some of the best in historical fiction . I can't wait for the next installment. Ricky Lindsey
