Synopsis

THE THIRD CRUSADE IS OVER

Richard the Lionheart is bound for England. But with all the princes of Europe united against him . . . can the greatest warrior in Christendom make it safely home?

THE LION IS CHAINED

Captured. Bound. Imprisoned. King Richard's slim hope of salvation rests on one man - a former outlaw, a vengeful earl, a man who scoffs at Holy Mother Church:

ROBIN HOOD

For King and country Robin and his loyal lieutenant Alan Dale will risk all - from blood-soaked battlefields to deadly assassins - to see the Lionheart restored to his rightful throne.

A series that just gets better and better! King's Man once again plunges us into the world of the Earl of Loxley (Robin Hood to you and I), and more importantly, the mind of Alan Dale.
