Publisher's Summary

The year is 542 and the great king Beowulf is midway in life between slaying the monster Grendel and his fatal battle with a dragon. He rules his kingdom on the west coast of Sweden wisely and gives rich gifts to his thanes, defends his keep and fills it with treasure.

But then his sister Skuld, the most powerful witch-queen of the Gautar people, pronounces his doom, just as a foreign woman arrives from the far south, escaping an Alexandria gripped in the plague that is destroying the Byzantine Empire.

Suddenly Beowulf is propelled into a battle for his life and kingdom, and into the wars of the gods where acts of love and betrayal shape the destiny of the worlds. Meticulously researched, the historical fantasy of Bones and Keeps immerses the listener in a time when gods and monsters walk the living world, when survival depends on the strength of a king’s arm, and the inscrutable forces of weird threaten the fall of gods and humanity alike.
