A new era of terror has brought fear and hatred to the land, while an ancient legend rouses the heart of the forest... The Norman conquest of England is complete - but for one young man, the battle is just beginning. When Bran ap Brychan sees his father murdered by Norman soldiers, he flees to London, seeking vengeance. The journey is long and difficult - and the suffering of those he meets along the way fuels his anger. With his demands rejected, Bran has no choice but to return home, but a worse fate awaits him there. His lands have been seized, and his people subjugated by a violent and corrupt regime. Must Bran flee to save his life or protect his people by succumbing to his father's murderers? The answer may be known only to the Raven King - a creature of myth and magic born from the dark shadows of the forest. Stephen R. Lawhead's Hood brings the legend of Robin Hood to life like never before.
