An interesting medieval adventure with overtones of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with the eternal hunt for the Spear of Longinus for Emperor Charlemagne.

4.5 rounded up to 5!

Well, Harffy’s done it again.

Dominion of Dust is another slice of brilliant historical fiction—gritty, immersive, and absolutely dripping with authenticity. You can feel the mud, the blood, and the tension in every page. Clearly a ton of research went into this one, and it shows. The world feels lived in, and the stakes felt real.

Hunlaf is a cracking lead—reminds me a lot of Beobrand from Harffy's other series: tough, brooding, complex, but with that thread of honour that keeps you rooting for him no matter what mess he’s in. He’s the kind of character who carries the show, and he does it brilliantly.

The pacing was tight, the religious aspects were balanced and the writing had Harffy’s usual craftsmanship—concise when it needs to be, rich when it counts. No bloat, just storytelling that hits hard and keeps you turning pages.

Harffy continues to knock it out of the park and is simply a powerhouse in this genre and is by a distance the best in his field right now

Hunluf once again picks up his tale, encouraged to do so by his prior.
His tale includes his travels the crew of the Bremsteyda, as they attempt to recover relics from the Holy land for Alcuin and ultimately for Charles (Charlmaigne) to use to bolster his hold of the Holy Roman empire.
Again Hunluf meets treachery and makes new friends along the way, as he and his crew mates try to fuflfil their quest treking through Cyprus and the Holy land .
Experience fighting mixed with intrigue and deception, set in a time when the Vikings have begun their depredations of Britain.
A great read..

A trip to the Holy Land beckons Hunlaf and the crew of the Brymsteda but competition for the prizes they seek once again turns it into a battle for survival. Apart from the “locals” a certain Eirene, with grand designs of her own and accompanied by a female “Goliath” are one step ahead. You can almost smell the blood and taste the salty sea air in this, the fourth in the recollections of Hunlaf - and he’s not done yet

another brilliant tale of Hunlaf of Ubbanford.
I love this series of books reminiscent of the last kingdom series and just as gripping.
perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Dan Jones . Thank you Mr Harffy for a brilliant set of books now get back in and write the nex one.
