Cynwulf, a half-Viking, half-Saxon misfit, lives on the outskirts of his Anglo-Saxon community. When his battleaxe is found in a dead man’s skull, he must clear his name or face the community’s vengeance. “What could be better than an intriguing mystery, a little romance, and a short sojourn to a place and time that’s little known and less understood? Douglas Bond shines a light on the past in a way that’s as entertaining as it is informative.” -- Janie B. Cheaney, Senior Writer, WORLD magazine; Blogger at RedeemedReader.com “Hand of Vengeance is an amazing tale of intrigue and adventure you won’t want to miss.” -- Brock Eastman, Author of The Quest for Truth series and Sages of Darkness trilogy “This really is a magnificent book. It was written with the mind of a lawyer and the pen of a poet.” -- Simona Spear, 17-year-old reader Douglas Bond, author of more than thirty books, is director of the Oxford Creative Writing Master Class, a two-time Grace Award book finalist, a hymn writer and editor, a speaker at conferences and churches in five continents, and a leader of church history tours in Europe.
