“In the dark time, with Saxon freedom crushed beneath the iron fist of King William the Conqueror, the cry for a champion resounds throughout the land—and Edward Aelredson, Thane of Denby, answers the call. Forced from his home..., young Edward takes refuge in the ancient forest Sherwood—there to foment rebellion amid its green and silent bowers.”
A richly-imagined story, thick with interesting characters who actually have motivations behind their actions. A friend told me that this series would ruin me for other Robin Hood stories -- I think she's right, but I'm glad!
