About This Book

A young forester and skilled archer must defend his home and neighbors after his lord and many of the household join a distant war. The narrative follows his growth through sieges, an archery festival, skirmishes with outlaws, daring raids at moats and fords, and personal combats as loyalty, courage, and leadership are tested. Episodes shift between castle life, forest hideouts, and hard riding on the roads, showing the pressures of local custom and law against broader royal demands. Adventure, resourcefulness, and communal bonds propel a vivid tale of duty and honor in a turbulent medieval setting.
