Robin Hood Tales #5

When Queen Eleanor herself arrives at Robin Hood's forest stronghold with an urgent plea—King Henry's life is in mortal danger, and only Robin can save him—the outlaw must wrestle with an impossible choice: trust the queen and journey to London to protect the very man hunting him, or suspect a trap designed to end him once and for all. Racing against the Duke of Tedford's soldiers and navigating treachery at every turn, Robin finds himself battling impossible odds to thwart the menace of the royal assassins.

Racing against time to uncover the truth and rescue his captured band, Robin must face down a conspiracy far more dangerous than any legend.

When Robin Hood ventures out seeking diversion in Sherwood Forest, he discovers an honest knight, Sir Harold Wickham, facing ruin at the hands of the ruthless Baron Vance—who's deliberately sabotaged every attempt to repay a mortgage on Sir Harold's lands. Robin hatches a clever plan: he and his men will masquerade as Sir Harold and his servants to deliver the Baron's own stolen gold straight to his castle and reclaim the mortgage papers. But when Baron Vance recognizes Robin beneath the disguise, the outlaw and his companions find themselves trapped and at the mercy of their greatest adversary, who sees them as the ultimate bargaining chip to unlock the legendary treasures of Sherwood Forest.
