A sunny Sunday morning at in Monmouthshire. We stumbled on The Old Church at Penalt and were surprised to find it has a connection to #SantiagoDeCompostela. Rodrigo Costoya (author of El Siglo del Milagro) was very excited when I told him about it. #elcamino #history #elcamino

Book Review – Dominion of Dust by Matthew Harffy @AriesFiction
About the Book AD 797, Cyprus. Warrior-monk Hunlaf and his crew are on a voyage to acquire an important Christian relic before it falls into the hands of Byzantium’s scheming Empress Eirene. Hunlaf’s crew receive unexpected help as they seek their treasure, but soon find themselves betrayed. About to leave for home empty-handed, the adventurers instead sail further east: to Jerusalem, the Holy Land, abundant in relics.
