Synopsis

'I charge you, Sir Alan Dale, with administering my death. At the end of the game, I would rather die by your hand than any other'

England rebels

War rages across the land. In the wake of Magna Carta, King John's treachery is revealed and the barons rise against him once more. Fighting with them is the Earl of Locksley - the former outlaw Robin Hood - and his right-hand man Sir Alan Dale.

France invades

When the French enter the fray, with the cruel White Count leading the charge, Robin and Alan must decide where their loyalties lie: with those who would destroy the king and seize his realm or with the beloved land of their birth.

A hero lives for ever

Fate is inexorable and Death waits for us all. Or does it? Can Robin Hood pull off his greatest ever trick and cheat the Grim Reaper one last time just as England needs him most?

The climactic episode of The Outlaw Chronicles is the most explosive yet - but who will survive and who will fall when the final reckoning comes?

Goodreads review by S.J.A.

If ever there was a spoiler in the title, eh? But come on, we’ve been expecting this book for a while. Angus Donald’s superb Outlaw Chronicles have run to 8 books, which is pretty good for any series to maintain freshness and individuality, but we could see by book 6 that the characters were beginni......more

Goodreads review by Iain

Jumping into the Outlaw Chronicles with the 8th and final book, bought at the Sherwood Forest gift shop. There's lots to like. Many of his merry men have passed away by this stage, leaving the older Robin and Alan Dale to tell the story of their final battles. A couple of mis-steps (a throwaway ment......more

Donald has saved the best until last; this is a fabulous, twisting tale of treachery and friendship. It is also, towards the end, genuinely moving. Farewell, Sir Alan and Robin Hood, it has been a blast. The Times (Book of the Month)

Angus Donald's masterly reimagining of Robin Hood concludes with a title to strike dread into the heart of all fans of the Outlaw series... This superb finale is action-packed but also intense with emotion Sunday Express
