Matthew Harffy lived in Northumberland as a child and the area had a great impact on him. The rugged terrain, ruined castles and rocky coastline made it easy to imagine the past. Decades later, a documentary about Northumbria's Golden Age sowed the kernel of an idea for a series of historical fiction novels that became The Bernicia Chronicles.

Matthew Harffy recommends
The Eagle and the Wolf (2026)
(Age of Atilla, book 1)
Gordon Doherty
"Gordon Doherty pens a powerful and compelling tale of the clash of civilizations during the Roman Empire's crumbling and bloody collapse. Overflowing with intrigue, adventure, love, betrayal, and bravery, The Eagle and the Wolf is historical fiction at its most epic and promises to be the start of a fantastic saga."
757 (2026)
(House of Mercia, book 1)
M J Porter
"Immediate and personal. MJ Porter recounts a sensitive, reluctant hero's coming-of-age within a Dark Age realm riven by chaos and conflict."
Eagle and the Wolf: Books 1-2 (2023)
(Edge of Empire)
Alistair Tosh
"Gripping, gritty and blood-splattered. Fans of Roman historical adventure will love it!."
