Resumen del Editor

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 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 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.

Outstanding in every respect

I am an avid reader of historical fiction, devourer more like. As a senior citizen myself, I found the protagonist extraordinarily compelling and anxiously await the next installment. The author really knows how to spin a tale and the narrator breathes life into the yarn like a bellows breathing life into a smith's forge. Bottom line - captivating storyline narrated in captivating fashion. For me, it doesn't get much better than this. Two thumbs (and 8 fingers) way up.

Solid writing, Solid performance.

I love a good Viking Age story, regardless of whether Vikings are directly involved or not. This is truly a great view of Saxon society without the same Viking point of view. The performance of the reader was top tier, and they really kept you locked onto every word. Each character was brought to life due to the reader providing each with their own voice. overall 10 out of 10!

Harffy at his best

Really enjoyed this excellent novel. Great plot and historically fascinating. And a great performance. Superb!

Excellent Listen

I loved this from start to finish! I especially enjoyed the authors note where he discussed how this idea came to him and the surrounding history.

Good listen

This is a good listen and pretty straight forward adventure tale. I like how the characters are distinctly different from Beibrand in his more well known series. Can’t say I think it’s Harffys best work (the plot felt like something I’d read before) but there’s potential since there seems there will be sequels and if you’ve enjoyed his other books you’ll surely enjoy this one too.

Wonderful!

I'm a fan of Harrify. I also really enjoy listening to this narrator, he does an excellent job. Overall I enjoyed this story and recommend it.

Great Read.

I love Harffy's books. I cannot wait for the next. I'd love to hear more of Dunston's adventures, from when he was younger or later for that matter.

A well done historical fiction!

I chose this book without any great expectations. It delivered a thoroughly enjoyable listen. The author did a great job of weaving a personal story within historical fiction. The narrator was excellent and aptly drove the tale to its conclusion. I highly recommend the listen for any fan of early England's history.

Thanks Matthew

Another great story and storyline. Thanks for the great work Mr. Harffy and I look forward to more great works.

Excellent storytelling!

This was my first Matthew Harffy book, but it will not be my last. I love the medieval, old English period, and rather than bringing it to life for me, I felt more like Harffy had dropped me in it! I also appreciated the final chapter author’s note for historical references.
