About this ebook

A completely re-imagined epic of the man known as Robin Hood from multi-award-winning, bestselling author Stephen R. Lawhead—now available in one volume.

For centuries, the legend of Robin Hood and his band of thieves has captivated imaginations. Now the familiar tale takes on new life as it boldly relocates to the dark forests of the Welsh countryside.

Hunted like an animal by Norman invaders, Bran ap Brychan, heir to the throne of Elfael, has abandoned his father’s kingdom and fled to the greenwood. There, in the primeval forest of the Welsh borders, danger surrounds him—for this woodland is a living, breathing entity with mysterious powers and secrets. Bran must find a way to make it his own if he is to survive and become King Raven.

From deep in the forest, Bran, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck form a daring plan for deliverance, knowing that failure means death for them all—and the dreams of the oppressed people of Wales.

This acclaimed trilogy (Hood, Scarlet, Tuck) conjures up an ancient past and holds a mirror to contemporary realities. Prepare yourself for an epic tale that dares to shatter everything you thought you knew about Robin Hood.

Going back to The Hall of the Dragon King, then Warlords of Nin, finishing with The Sword and the Flame, I had a favourite contemporary writer. In the Sword and the Flame, I almost wanted the sword for myself, that it might heal ME. So when Hood, Scarlet, and Tuck, were also under my hat, I really felt pretty good about a different Robin Hood than I grew up with. Dream Thief is one I've read at LEAST a half-dozen times. I CANNOT GET ENOUGH of Stephen R. Lawhead. ★★★★★
