☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two stories: "Sir Galant of the Round Table," in which the noble knight Sir Galant confronts the evil Knight of the Black Hand at Malmsey Castle and is captured in the Dungeons of Sir Blamas, with aid from the magician Merlin; and "Robin Hood," which recounts the legend of Sir Robert, Earl of Huntingdon, becoming Robin Hood during the Crusades and his discovery of a legendary sword forged from meteoric steel called the "Sword from the Sky," an accursed blade whose ownership brings misfortune across ages.
When the formidable Edith Harwell—a warrior maid in armor who can swing a longsword as well as any man—arrives at Robin Hood's camp, she challenges the master of Sherwood Forest himself, and her presence stirs unexpected tensions. As Robin aids her in defending Hadrian's Wall against Scottish raiders and later leads a daring rescue when she's captured, his growing affection for her catches the eye of Edwin of Warkworth, an old acquaintance from her past who's sworn loyalty to Robin's band. The real test comes when jealousy and duty collide, forcing these three warriors to reckon with matters of the heart amid the chaos of battle.
Prince John offers Robin Hood a pardon and a knighthood—but is the reformed usurper truly sincere, or does he have something darker in mind? When Robin accepts the honor and takes a mysterious oath, Little John and the Merry Men fear the worst, until Robin returns with a clever twist that turns Prince John's own scheme against him.
When King Arthur sends Sir Galant to challenge the Knight of the Black Hand at Malmsey Castle, the valiant knight discovers his foe is not what she seems—and that a treacherous ally may have deceived them both. Captured and thrown into the dungeons with Elissa and the true Knight of the Black Hand, Sir Galant must use his wits and an unexpected trinket to turn the tables on the villain who imprisoned them. The clash of steel in the great hall will determine who controls the northern lands.
In the years before King Richard sailed to the Crusades, the blacksmith Basil o' the Wold forges an extraordinary blade from fallen meteoric steel—a weapon of unmatched strength, but cursed with a grim destiny for all who possess it. The sword passes through the hands of ambitious knights in the Holy Land and beyond, each touched by misfortune, until Sir Robert of Huntingdon claims it during the siege of Acre and carries it back to England after a harrowing shipwreck. What trials await the Earl of Huntingdon now that the fabled Sword from the Sky has returned to his homeland?
