Matthew Harffy

Dark Frontier

Praise for Dark Frontier

'A phenomenally well-written and twisty fusion of classic western and tense Victorian detective thriller, with a bit of Jack Reacher thrown in.' 

Mark Knowles

The Bernicia Chronicles 

Praise for The Serpent Sword​

'A terrific novel. It illuminates the Dark Ages

like a bolt of lightning'

Toby Clements

Praise for Wolf of Wessex

'Harffy’s Dunston is a fantastic creation – old, creaking and misanthropic. The forest is beautifully evoked. A treat of a book' 

The Times

Wolf of Wessex

Praise for A Time for Swords

'Harffy is a master of the Dark Age thriller... A Time for Swords is a bold opening to yet another enthralling series. It promises to be one heck of a ride' Theodore Brun, author of A Mighty Dawn
