‘Harffy’s Dunston is a fantastic creation – old, creaking and misanthropic. The forest is beautifully evoked. A treat of a book’ The Times. AD 838. Deep in the forests of Wessex, Dunston’s solitary existence is shattered when he stumbles on a mutilated corpse. Accused of the murder, Dunston must clear his name and keep the dead man’s daughter alive in the face of savage pursuers desperate to prevent a terrible secret from being revealed. Rushing headlong through Wessex, Dunston will need to use all the skills of survival garnered from a lifetime in the wilderness. And if he has any hope of victory against the implacable enemies on their trail, he must confront his long-buried past – becoming the man he once was and embracing traits he had promised he would never return to. The Wolf of Wessex must hunt again; honour and duty demand it. ‘A page-turner… Matthew Harffy tells a great story’ Joanna Hickson. ‘A breathtaking novel that sweeps the reader into a dark and dangerous world’ Paul Fraser Collard. ‘Harffy’s writing just gets better and better… He is really proving himself the rightful heir to Gemmell’s crown’ Jemahl Evans. ‘Harffy has a real winner on his hands… A genuinely superb novel’ Steven McKay.AD 838.
