About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good. Already begun Harffy’s ‘Beobrand’ series after finishing this book in two or three sittings. Read this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5AD 838. While out hunting Dunston comes across a mutilated body, in the forests of Wessex. Soon he finds the scared daughter, Aedwen, of the man. It would seem that Dunston's solitary life is soon to come to an end when he takes the body and girl to Briuuetone (the nearest settlement) for Rothulf, the Reeve, to investigate. But soon Dunston is under arrest. But this is only Dunston's first challenge as he tries to get to the truth and motive for the murder.
A very enjoyable well-written story. It caught my interest straightaway and I was eager to find out how the story developed, I was not disappointed.
