AD 838. Deep in the forests of Wessex, Dunston's solitary existence is shattered when he stumbles on a mutilated corpse.
Matthew Harffy je majstrom historickej fikcie, ktorý čerpá inšpiráciu z dramatickej krajiny Northumberlandu, kde strávil detstvo. Drsná krása regiónu a starobylé ruiny podnietili jeho predstavivosť a poskytli živé pozadie pre jeho príbehy. Poháňaný fascináciou históriou, vytvára pohlcujúce príbehy, ktoré čitateľov prenesú do inej éry. Jeho dielo sa vyznačuje pútavými zápletkami a hlbokým spojením s minulosťou, čo z neho robí výnimočný hlas v tomto žánri.
