Lawhead Published by Westbow Press 2006 |
A NEW REIGN OF TERROR HAS BROUHGT 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 King Raven - a creature of myth and magic
born of the darkest shadows in the forest.
