Hood by Stephen R. Lawhead
Lawhead’s research of the “Robin Hood” tales led him to believe they originated in Wales, in the vast forests known as the March; and the story he weaves from his research is full of period imagery, language and old tales.
This excellent, can’t put down novel introduces us to Bran ap Brychan, who loses his father and his heritage when the Ffreinc, having already defeated England, decide to make Wales a part of their empire as well. This is the first of the King Raven Trilogy and follows Bran as he struggles to regain his kingdom.
