Description

A new reign of terror has brought fear and hatred to the land, while an ancient legend stirs in the heart of the wildwood …The Norman conquest of England is complete – but for one young man the battle has only just begun. When Bran ap Brychan s father is murdered by Norman soldiers, he flees to London, seeking justice. The journey is long and hard – and the suffering of those he meets along the way fuels his anger. With his demands dismissed, Bran has no choice but to return home, but a worse fate still awaits him there. His lands have been confiscated and his people subjugated by a brutal and corrupt regime. Should Bran flee for his life or protect his people by surrendering to his father s murderers? The answer, perhaps, is known only to the Raven King – a creature of myth and magic born of the darkest shadows in the forest. Stephen R. Lawhead s Hood brings to life the legend of Robin Hood as never before.
