Summary
Hunlaf risks the wrath of the mighty Byzantine Empire on a dangerous voyage to the Holy Land. A rip-roaring Viking-era adventure from the author of the Bernicia Chronicles.

'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.

Hunlaf’s 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.

a wonderful romping adventure, with sharp reminders that it wasn't all 'fun'. Brilliant descriptive narrative, perfectly read, each character sharply brought to life. we laugh and cry through each exciting and terrifying moment. I hope there are more stories to come!

I must admit I find the stories increasingly implausible. A motley crew travelling the world with no disease or drama beyond fighting evil locals. Like a historical version of Guardians of the Galaxy. But it’s fun stuff, and easy enough to listen. Nothing repeats (except perhaps the overall storyline).
The narrator brings it all to life with skills rare and brilliant. Without him, I fear the book itself wouldn’t not hold my attention.

The narrations keeps me hooked
