Robin Hood #4

When the Lady Edith Harwell arrives in Sherwood Forest seeking Robin Hood's aid against Pictish and Scottish raiders threatening her northern lands, she challenges his merry men to prove their worth—and her arrival stirs unexpected jealousy among those closest to Robin. As the outlaw band marches north to help defend the Wall of Hadrian, battles erupt across the Scottish moors, and a daring rescue becomes the ultimate test of loyalty and love.

When Sir Galant arrives at Malmsey Castle to challenge the notorious Knight of the Black Hand on King Arthur's orders, he's stunned to discover his opponent is actually a woman—Elissa—who's been impersonating her brother to protect their castle while he's held captive by the Picts and the treacherous Sir Blamas. Before Galant can process this revelation, Sir Blamas and his allies ambush them, throwing both Galant and Elissa into the castle dungeons alongside the true Knight of the Black Hand. Armed with nothing but a magnet he'd borrowed from Merlin, Galant must find a way to escape and expose Sir Blamas's scheme before the villain consolidates his power over the North Country.

Before Sir Robert of Huntingdon becomes the outlaw Robin Hood, he crosses paths with a sword forged from fallen meteorite—a blade already cursed with a deadly fate that has claimed every man who's wielded it, from its maker Basil O' the Wold to the knights who carried it through the Crusades. When Sir Robert encounters the legendary weapon in the Holy Land under King Richard the Lion-Hearted, he must reckon with an old woman's cryptic prophecy: "Until the eagle shall defeat the lion." The sword's dark destiny continues to weave through the lives of thieves, knights, and soldiers, leaving ruin in its wake—but what awaits the man who will one day become England's greatest outlaw?
