The son of a landowner in a minor ministerial role, destined for an uneventful life. But when he decides to strike back at those who have wronged him, his actions set off a chain of events across the Saxon world that lead to the rise of an unlikely legend.
Set during a period of heightening tensions between the English, Norse and Norman courts, The Thief of Mercia is the first in a series exploring an alternative version of the more well-known tales of Robin Hood.
Not my typical genre, but kept me gripped from the get go! The twists and turns throughout keep you hooked and guessing what will happen next. Can’t wait for the next book!
