About this title

Review:

'Murder, betrayal and vengeance fuel tribal warfare and personal combat. Beobrand is the warrior to follow' --David Gilman.

'A tale that rings like sword song in the reader's mind. Harffy knows his genre inside out and The Cross and the Curse proves it' --Giles Kristian.

'Matthew Harffy has created a gritty, authentic world, home to a hero who shows us the complexity of what it means to be human the darkness and the delight. The Cross and the Curse is historical fiction at its finest' --Stephanie Churchill.
