Confusion and conflict continue as

Exhausted, he retires to his new estate with his bride only to find himself surrounded once again by
enemies old and new. With treachery and death on all sides, Beobrand fears he will lose all he holds dear.

On a quest for
revenge and redemption, he accepts the mantle of lord, leading his men into the darkest of nights and the bloodiest of battles.

The Cross and the Curse is the second gripping, action-packed instalment in The Bernicia Chronicles.
