For young Anglo-Saxon fighter Beobrand, the blood and fury of battle brings him renown... but also makes him deadly enemies. The second action-packed instalment in the Bernicia Chronicles.
AD 634. Warlords battle across Britain to become the first King of the English. After a stunning victory against the Waelisc, Beobrand returns to Bernicia and a hero's welcome. His valour is richly rewarded by his king.
But Beobrand cannot enjoy his bounty for long. With powerful enemies eager to see him slaughtered, he must leave his bride and his new lands to fight once more.

Media Reviews
A tale that rings like sword song in the reader's mind. Harffy knows his genre inside out and The Cross and the Curse proves it -- Giles Kristian
Harffy has created a gritty, authentic world, home to a hero who shows us the complexity of what it means to be human – the darkness and the delight. The Cross and the Curse is historical fiction at its finest -- Stephanie Churchill
Harffy allows the reader to peel back the layers of Dark Age society beyond the implicit violence. His wordage is skilful and beautifully wrought, rather like a perfect damascened sword -- Prue Batten
