A few years after the events of the last book, King John has died, and Henry III has just been crowned king at thirteen years old. The Locksley family pays fealty to the new King, and Robin’s teenage son John sees an opportunity to befriend this young King who is caught between his two major advisors. There is an archery tournament, a night adventure, and a small plot of court politics.

This was a fun little novella. There’s adventure and interesting characters, but also some good historical research to ground it. Only complaint is I would love for it to be longer, though it is a good length for the story it does tell. Still gets 5 stars because I enjoyed it so much. Hoping we get to see more books in this world with these characters.
