Outlaw
ByPublisher Description
A young thief in medieval England is drawn into a violent underworld and taken under the wing of Robin Hood in this historical adventure series debut.
“This book makes everyone’s favorite outlaw a lot more interesting; Outlaw is as fast-paced as a charging warhorse. Superb!” —Nelson DeMille
In the bloody underworld of twelfth-century England, one man reigns supreme. Robin Hood steals from the powerful and gives protection to the poor—but at a price. And the price is silence.
Alan Dale, a young thief running from the law, is thrown into this violent world where he finds that, to survive, he must develop and exploit all his talents. A mentor to him, Robin teaches Alan how to fight and, more important, how to win. But in the England of Henry II, dangerous forces are aligned against Robin and his men, and it will take more than mere luck and skill if they are to survive the savage assaults by the Norman rulers and the treachery and betrayal from some of their own.
“Donald drives a sword through the heart of the smiling, joking Robin Hood in Outlaw. . . . Add miraculous escapes, the rescue of a fair maiden, romance, witchcraft, much drunkenness, and the introduction of Friar Tuck, Little John, Will Scarlet, and the evil Prince John, and you get a rousing yarn that takes the story you’re familiar with and gives it a lively jolt.” —Publishers Weekly

“Umm WOW?! How can you not enjoy the anti hero that is Robin Hood. But even more-so Alan and his changing stance on morality. A great read but heed to the trigger warnings.”
