The King of Rats [ONC2025]

**Robin and Marian's feelings, together with their convictions, are put to the test when the bloodthirsty rat king threatens not only the rebellion but also the fate of all England. **

"Just one dream can wake a nation
Just one man can break down a door
A single light can be lost in the dark
But a million lights will shine through the world."
(Chris DeBurgh)

England, 1193.

Marian has made her choice and has decided to live beyond the walls of Nottingham at the side of the outlaw Robin Hood. As romantic and adventurous as life among the trees of Sherwood Forest may seem, the young maiden has failed to consider the growing consequences of her decision.

When a new enemy appears on the scene in the form of the self-proclaimed "Rat King", whose cruelty and brutality threaten to draw the rebellion against the crown into a bloody maelstrom, Marian's convictions and even her relationship with Robin begin to crumble.

Amid murderous intrigue, a bitter struggle for control over Nottingham, and threatened by the insidious King of Rats, Marian must make the most difficult decision of her life. Surrounded by conspiracies and betrayals, her chosen path will ultimately seal her fate-and the future of England.

In "The King of Rats", the second and final part of the Sherwood Dilogy, the story of Marian, Robin, Guy, and many more brave heroes would find the dramatic, bloody, but also passion-filled and sizzling climax.
