Myth, mayhem and masterly storytelling meet in the astounding new epic from the bestselling author of Outlaw and Holy Warrior


REVIEW:

The latest title from Angus Donald and following the adventures of Will alongside his liege lord Robin Hood, has been an adventure from day one. Not only has this series gone from strength to strength, the action is hard, the villains have gotten harder to challenge the characters as they grow and when added to an author who loves to not only tell a story but really brings the reader into it to keep them marching alongside the characters all round gives you a series that’s just too good to put down. Magical.
