The King's Ransom (Volume 1) (Nottingham, 1)

1192. Richard, King of England, hasn't returned from the Crusades. Rumours say he may be dead, and his brother John Lackland begins moving his pieces to claim the throne, counting on the support – and money – of the kingdom's sheriffs. Deep inside Sherwood Forest, Marian, young Saxon Lady, tries to convince a family of outlaws to join her in fighting the prince, with the help of a mysterious man in a hood – none other than the Sheriff of Nottingham himself!
