Head of Zeus -- an Aries Book, 2023

Warrior-monk Hunlaf and his shipmates battle peril and intrigue on a dangerous voyage to Muslim Spain as they seek an object of immense power. A thrilling historical adventure set in the Anglo-Saxon era. AD 796. Sailing in search of an object of great power, Hunlaf and his comrades are far from home when they are caught up in a violent skirmish against pirates. After the bloody onslaught, an encounter with ships from Islamic Spain soon sees them escorted under guard to the city of Qadis, one of the jewels of the Emirate of Al-Andalus and the true destination of their voyage. Hunlaf believes the Emir's lands hold the key to his search, but there are dangerous games at play. To achieve his goal, Hunlaf and his allies must walk a difficult path where friends and enemies alike are not always what they seem - and where a weapon deadlier than any yet seen could change the future of all the kingdoms in Europe. The third thrilling historical adventure in the A Time for Swords series by Matthew Harffy, perfect for fans of Ben Kane, Simon Scarrow and Bernard Cornwell. Readers love A Day of Reckoning 'Top class adventure writing, with action that moves as fast and keen as a whetted blade.'
