Forget the legend. Forget the romance. Meet the real Robin Hood.

Stephen Lawhead, acclaimed author of historical fantasy, returns with his own version of the Robin Hood legend set in 11th century Britain. Hood is the compelling first part of the King Raven trilogy.

Bran’s father, King Brychan of the Welsh Marches, has been murdered by the power-hungry Normans. Bran makes the perilous journey to London to report the murder, but his case is thrown out of court and the land he was to inherit is confiscated. Suddenly, Bran is a fugitive. His only choice is to disappear – to avoid the fate suffered by his father. Then Bran meets and is taken in by a strange and enigmatic forest dweller – a woman who makes Bran realise that the sword is not the only weapon against injustice.

Authentic historical detail and an exciting twist on a perennially popular story make Hood a richly diverting read. You’ll be impatient for the second part!
