For centuries, the legend of Robin Hood and his band of thieves has captivated the imagination.�Now the familiar tale takes on new life, fresh meaning, and an unexpected setting.� Hunted like an animal by Norman invaders, Bran ap Brychan, heir to the throne 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, and Bran must find a way to make it his own if he is to survive.� Like the forest itself, Hood is deep, dark, and at times savagely brutal - yet full of enchantment and hope.� Internationally-acclaimed author Stephen R. Lawhead has created a lyrical rendering of a time-honored story that will lead you down strange pathways into another time and place.
