DESCRIPTION:
Travel to Anglo-Saxon times JANER Machado Really like this novel, it is an interesting and colorful travel to 7th century and Anglo-Saxon times. Anxious to the second book and Oswiu's story. Mr.Harrington, you will tell Oswiu's tale in volume 2, isn't? And, please, write more novels in Anglo Saxon times, always a pleasure read about ancient kings and people. I still hope a good story about king Offa and Mercian wars. Perhaps, Mr.Harrington

Commanded by his uncle, the king, to escort his future bride and queen, Ethelburga, from Kent, Oswald falls in love with her. This is the story of one inhabitant of Northumbria, Oswald; told through his eyes, and who went on to become its king and regarded by many as a saint
