East Anglia has fallen. Even Oswald's adoptive homeland cannot escape the grasp of Offa - and his evil wife, Queen Cynethryth. Learning that Cynethryth plots to bring all seven kingdoms under her sway with the aid of a dragon army, Oswald and his friends use Wayland's magic to travel to Northumbria, where an attack by Vikings begins a series of events that will result in the death of three English kings. The seven kingdoms hang in the balance. The Bones of Wayland is the last in the Wayland Saga trilogy.
