Matthew Harffy
When the Vikings attack, a novice monk's life is changed forever in Matthew Harffy's new historical adventure.
Lindisfarne, AD 793. There had been portents - famine, whirlwinds, lightning from clear skies, serpents seen flying through the air. But when the raiders came, no one was prepared. They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site. It is 8th June AD 793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun. While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground. He has been taught to turn the other cheek, but faced with the slaughter of his brothers and the pagan desecration of his church, forgiveness is impossible.

Critic reviews
"Harffy's writing just gets better and better.... He is really proving himself the rightful heir to Gemmell's crown." (Jemahl Evans)

solid story

All historical fiction series start with an origin story for the main character and this one starts with a young monk witnessing a viking raid and his fight or flight reaction.
Story is good, character development for main character and supporting characters is very good. The first 2 books develop plot lines and back stories for several characters that will add to the longevity of the series in my opinion. These are the things that separate a good series from a great series.
I will be following the development of this series with intrest.
I also enjoyed the historical facts at the end of the books and the explanations of the fictional plot lines.
A solid 4 star start to a potentially excellent series.
Good start to a new series.
