"A delightfully crafted, deceptively simple little glimpse of life in early 14th Century England." - 5 Stars Steve Denton of Speesh Reads
When two lawmen - fabled former outlaws themselves - are sent to a snowy English village to arrest a rapist it seems a straightforward task, but is all as it first appears?
ENGLAND, 1325 AD
As Robin Hood and Little John take the criminal into custody they find the people of Stapleford accommodating enough, and the terrified victim's bruises are plainly, painfully, visible. Inevitably, as they set off on the journey back to Nottingham the lawmen's disgust at the captive's crime colours their opinion of him and Little John has to be restrained from brutally assaulting the man.
The harsh conditions slow their progress though, and eventually the prisoner's words and desperate, violent actions have the lawmen questioning what's really been happening in Stapleford...
Can Robin and John complete the mission they've been given, or will their own innate sense of justice lead them down an unexpected path?
Fans of the bestselling Forest Lord series will love this exciting new stand-alone tale, set just before Blood of the Wolf, that explores the themes of morality and injustice in medieval England.
