About this listen

In the wild lands of Norway, Hunlaf must quell a vicious slave uprising in Matthew Harffy's latest historical adventure.

A wild land. A lethal fanatic. A violent revolt.

Northumbria, AD 794.

Those who rule the seas, rule the land. None know the truth of this more than the Vikings. To compete with the violent sea-faring raiders, the king of Northumbria orders the construction of his own longships under the command of oath-sworn Norseman, Runolf.

When the Northern sea wolves attack for the second year, the king sends cleric turned warrior, Hunlaf, on a mission across the Whale Road to persuade the king of Rogaland into an alliance. But Runolf and Hunlaf have other plans: old scores to settle, kin to seek out and a heretical tome to find in the wild lands of the Norse.

Their voyage takes them into the centre of a violent uprising. A slave has broken free of his captors and with religious fervour, he is leading his fanatical followers on a rampage—burning all in his path.

Hunlaf must brave the Norse wilderness, and overcome deadly foes to stop this madman. To fail would see too many die....

Wonderfully written adventure steeped in blood and violence. This is definitely not a book for the squeamish. The narrator is flawless.

Bloody, exciting, disturbing

If you have yet to discover Matthew Harffy’s historical fiction, I am incredibly envious. There is nothing quite like finding an author who has the ability to transport you to a different time and place with characters that are three dimensional, intriguing and relatable, characters you route for and are excited to spend time with. There is a wealth of fantastic stories available from Matthew Harffy now and I’m incredibly jealous of those who are yet to experience the tales of hunlaf, Dunstan and Beobrand

Night of flames is the second tale in the saga of Hunlaf and once again n exhilarating ride that leaves you wanting more!

Read this book thank me later! Infact go read everything that Mathew Harffy has to offer, experience the talents of Barnaby Edwards excellent narration come back and join me in the “can’t wait for more” club!

Thank you Matthew for another fantastic book!
