But when the raiders came, no one was prepared.</p><p>They came from the North, their dragon-prowed longships gliding out of the dawn mist as they descended on the kingdom's most sacred site.</p><p>It is 8th June AD793, and with the pillage of the monastery on Lindisfarne, the Viking Age has begun.</p><p>While his fellow monks flee before the Norse onslaught, one young novice stands his ground. He has been taught to turn the other cheek, but faced with the slaughter of his brothers and the pagan desecration of his church, forgiveness is impossible.</p><p>Hunlaf soon learns that there is a time for faith and prayer . . . and there is a time for swords.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for Matthew Harffy: </b></p><p>'<i>A Time for Swords</i> is a wonderful story and a bold opening from Harffy to yet <b>another enthralling series</b>.
