Review - Wolf of Wessex by Matthew Harffy

 Wolf of Wessex

By Matthew Harffy

 

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. 

Review:

I have heard many great things about Matthew Harffy's books, but this is the first book I have read of his. He certainly lives up to all the acclaim because this story was fabulous from start to finish. So much happens in this book, and Dunston is an unlikely hero, which made this book all the more enthralling.


The historical backdrop of this novel has been magnificently researched. It really did feel like I had stepped back in time. This may well be the first book I have read by Matthew Harffy, but it is certainly not going to be the last.
