Killer of Kings

The Bernicia Chronicles, Book 4

De: Matthew Harffy

Narrado por: Barnaby Edwards

Beobrand has land, men and riches. He should be content. And yet he cannot find peace until his enemies are food for the ravens. But before Beobrand can embark on his bloodfeud, King Oswald orders him southward, to escort holy men bearing sacred relics.

When Penda of Mercia marches a warhost into the southern kingdoms, Beobrand and his men are thrown into the midst of the conflict. Beobrand soon finds himself fighting for his life and his honour.

In the chaos that grips the south, dark secrets are exposed, bringing into question much that Beobrand had believed true. Can he unearth the answers and exact the vengeance he craves? Or will the blood-price prove too high, even for a warrior of his battle-fame and skill?

A lot of questions were answered in this novel of the young warrior . Cannot wait to read the next adventure

Another exciting tale

Another great entry in the Bernicia Chronicles. Gripping writing, great characters, and engaging plot. I’m looking forward to continuing the series!

Awesome

I usually don’t write reviews. This series is one of the best series I have listen too
love it.

Love this story

Revenge is a satisfying thing when taken. This was a very satisfying story bringing answers and revenge to the surface of beobrands story!! Again Edwards does a brilliant job creating a personal voice to each character!! Looking forward to the next tale!!

Incredible

Awesome how we keep on filling the backstory, while characters are fully invested!! With a great back drop!

High Adventure in the Dark Ages

Matthew Harffy continues to deliver on Dark Ages thrill and chills with the fourth volume of his Bernicia Chronicles. As usual there is brilliant battle action and political intrigue, but many sub-plots set in motion in the early volumes come to fruition in this story in very satisfying ways. Harffy's writing is a joy to read (or listen to, as I listened to the audiobook narrated by Barnaby Edwards), full of evocative prose that effectively recreates seventh century England. It's a land peopled by warriors, thanes, witches, peasants and kings of every stripe. It's a time when Christianity wars with older religions for the souls of kings and common men. It's a trip well worth taking and I cannot recommend Killer of Kings too highly... although I strongly recommend that any new reader start with volume one. Excellent work.

Good story

Love the series and this edition did not disappoint…Barnaby Edwards has the perfect voice to read midevil type stories

Great book!

I would give this 5 stars but the first 3 books are 5 stars. I didn’t think this book was as perfect but it’s a must read because is ties everything together. The battles and war isn’t as strong but this book answers all the questions. Great read

Every Book is Better than the last!

This series gets better with every book! I usually find stories like this repetitive and tiresome after a few books but every book is just as hard to put down as the last. The narrator is perfect. Starting the next one tomorrow!
