Description
'I charge you, Sir Alan Dale, with administering my death. At the end of the game, I would rather die by your hand than any other'
England rebels
War rages across the land. In the wake of Magna Carta, King John's treachery is revealed and the barons have risen against him once more. Fighting with them is the Earl of Locksley - the former outlaw Robin Hood - and his right-hand man Sir Alan Dale.
France invades
When the French enter the fray, with the cruel White Count leading the charge, Robin and Alan must decide where their loyalties lie: with those who would destroy the king and seize his realm or with the beloved land of their birth.
A hero who will live for ever
Fate is inexorable and Death waits for us all. Or does it? Can Robin Hood pull off his greatest ever trick and cheat the Grim Reaper one last time just as England needs him most?

Donald has saved the best until last; this is a fabulous, twisting tale of treachery and friendship. It is also, towards the end, genuinely moving. Farewell, Sir Alan and Robin Hood, it has been a blast. * The Times (Book of the Month) * Angus Donald's masterly reimagining of Robin Hood concludes with a title to strike dread into the heart of all fans of the Outlaw series... This superb finale is action-packed but also intense with emotion * Sunday Express *More details
