✦ Synopsis

BRITAIN 633 A.D. Certain that his brother�s death is murder, young farmhand Beobrand embarks on a quest for revenge in war-torn Northumbria. When he witnesses barbaric acts at the hands of warriors he considers his friends, Beobrand questions his chosen path and vows to bring the men to justice. Relentless in pursuit of his enemies, Beobrand faces challenges that change him irrevocably. Just as a great sword is forged by beating together rods of iron, so his adversities transform him from a farm boy to a man who stands strong in the clamour and gore of the shieldwall. As he closes in on his kin�s slayer and the bodies begin to pile up, can Beobrand mete out the vengeance he craves without sacrificing his own honour � or even his soul? The Serpent Sword is the first novel of the Bernicia Chronicles.
