Historical Novel Review on the A Time for Swords series
An absolutely riveting historical adventure, continuing the A Time for Swords series in epic style. In the fourth book Hunlaf is looking back to 797AD and a race across the Mediterranean for a Christian relic. This is actually my first foray into these novels, and I found it beautifully easy to join the action, I most definitely want to go back to the first book and continue in order as this has all the hallmarks of a cracking series. Hunlaf and his comrades battle their way into unknown lands with determination, and while there are plenty of thrills and spills, there is also time for relationships to form, doubt to grow, and betrayal to occur. Matthew Harffy writes with an assured eloquence, I felt able to throw myself into the history and the culture, and just believe. I particularly enjoyed the scene setting and exploring the surrounding landscapes. The Hunlaf of the future tells his tale from a different perspective and it’s interesting to see the same man into two timeframes. I am very happy to have joined this quest and look forward to further adventures. Extremely satisfying and rewarding, <i>Dominion of Dust</i> rampages across the page with slicing action in a fascinating historical setting.

AD 797, Cyprus. Warrior-monk Hunlaf and his crew are on a voyage to acquire an important Christian relic before it falls into the hands of Byzantium's scheming Empress Eirene.
Hunlaf’s crew receive unexpected help as they seek their treasure, but soon find themselves betrayed. About to leave for home empty-handed, the adventurers instead sail further east: to Jerusalem, the Holy Land, abundant in relics.
And dangerous intrigues.
Hunlaf and his friends will face a deadly race against time as they attempt to secure a holy treasure, outwit Byzantium's zealous agents, and avoid grisly deaths at the hands of the local rulers.
From bestselling author MATTHEW HARFFY, A Time for Swords is an epic historical action-adventure series set during the dramatic Viking Age. The thrilling tale of Hunlaf, a monk who becomes a warrior following a devastating Viking attack, the series chronicles his daring quests through Early Medieval Europe. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Giles Kristian.
