The third crusade is over, Richard the Lionheart is bound for England. But with all the princes of Europe united against him, can the greatest warrior in Christendom make it safely home? The lion is chained, captured, bound, and imprisoned. King Richard’s slim hope of salvation rests on one man, a former outlaw and vengeful earl, a man who scoffs at the Holy Mother Church – Robin Hood. For King and country Robin and his loyal lieutenant Alan Dale will risk all – from blood-soaked battlefields to deadly assassins – to see the Lionheart restored to his rightful throne.
