Warlord

By Angus Donald
Warlord by Angus Donald digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

War and mystery draw a knight and friend of Robin Hood into dangerous territory in this action-packed historical adventure by the author of King’s Man.

Robert, Earl of Locksley, returns in the third entry in this compelling historical series that reimagines one of the most indelible figures in folklore—Robin Hood.

King Richard I, the Lionheart, is engaged in a bloody war to drive the French out of Normandy. Using the brutal tactics of medieval warfare—siege, savagery and scorched earth—the Lionheart gradually pushes back the forces of King Philip of France. By his side in this epic struggle are the erstwhile outlaw Robin Hood, and Sir Alan Dale, Robin’s loyal friend.

But while the battles rage, Alan is preoccupied with discovering the identity the man who ordered his father’s death ten years earlier—a mystery that leads him towards to Paris, deep into the heart of the enemy’s territory.

Praise for Warlord

“A bloodcurdling tale of medieval greed, cruelty and honor. . . . Many of the fight scenes show the thrusts and parries in detail, as though the author were a witness. . . . The battles are what make the book thoroughly entertaining. A fast-paced and exciting story.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This is a really strong and solid series so far. A lot of historical fiction series, which follow one main character, quickly become very formulaic in style. This series really doesn't. It's a brand new story and style. The peril of Alan feels real and his personal history is fantastically intriguing. I enjoyed the way Donald tackled the larger battles in this one. Wasn't completely over the top, and moved at a pace that felt natural and genuine Great book”
