THE NEW BERNICIA CHRONICLES NOVEL FROM MATTHEW HARFFY, SHADOWS OF THE SLAIN, AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW! When the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria is invaded by a fearsome foe, warlord Beobrand must answer the call to arms once more. An action-packed historical thriller in the Bernicia Chronicles, perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell. AD 642. Oswald has reigned over Northumbria for eight years, and warlord Beobrand has brought him ever greater victories. Rewarded for his fealty and prowess in battle, Beobrand is now wealthy, with a sizeable warband of his own. Tales of Beobrand's fearsome black-shielded warriors and the great treasure he has amassed are told throughout the land. Many are the kings who bow to Oswald. And yet there are those who look upon his realm with a covetous eye. And there is one ruler who will never kneel before him: Penda of Mercia, the great killer of kings. When Penda invades Northumbria, Beobrand is once more called upon to stand in an epic battle where much blood will be shed in defence of the kingdom. But in this climactic clash between the pagan Penda and the Christian Oswald, there is much more at stake than sovereignty. This is a battle for the very souls of the people of Albion.

In this large and beautifully illustrated book Paul Mortimer draws on the experiences of re-enactors and modern experimental reconstructions to provide a fresh look at the arms and armour, as well as the culture and beliefs of Anglo-Saxon warrior society in the sixth and seventh centuries. He produces his own typologies of the various pieces of military equipment and discusses construction, decoration and functioning, as well as highlighting some specific fine and/or unusual examples. The latter half of the book discusses factors such as religion, the iconography of more decorative items, burial and kingship to complete the picture of warrior life.

Haraldur the northman once joined Jason on his fabled quest for the Golden Fleece, but now he wants nothing more to do with gods and adventure. Returning to his homeland for the first time in many years, he hopes only to settle down on a farm of his own—until he comes across an impenetrable wall of eldritch fire and a lovesick youth determined to breach the wall at any cost. Behind the towering flames, he is told, lies a beautiful Valkyrie trapped in an enchanted sleep, as well as, perhaps, a golden treasure beyond mortal reckoning. It is the gold that tempts Hal to agree, against his better judgment, to assist the youth in his quest. But to find a way past the fiery wall, they must first brave gnomes, ghosts, and the wrath of the gods themselves. For a mighty battle is brewing, and Hal soon finds himself caught up in a celestial conflict between Thor the Thunderer, Loki the Trickster, and most powerful of all, Wodan, the merciless Lord of Battles!
