A taut sci-fi thriller with a great central conceit, The Memory Shades keeps you guessing right to the very end. Loved it!

In Saxon Wessex, a hoary old warrior uncovers a threat to the kingdom. Strong characters sit at the heart of this rollicking adventure from @matthewharffy.bsky.social. Rich in atmosphere, beautifully written and packed with intense combat. Great escapist fun in the best axe-wielding tradition.
