Longbow is the first novel in The Saga of Roland Inness. That skill and his courage are sorely tested as he fights to earn the trust of his new master. Along the way he is hunted by a paid killer, aided by a strange monk named Tuck, and taken in by a gruff Norman knight, who values his amazing skill with the bow. With one shot the 14 year old peasant boy is launched on a desperate flight that takes him from the mountains of Derbyshire to the wild frontier of Wales and on to the court of Richard the Lionheart.

Worse yet, he uses his longbow, a weapon outlawed and suppressed by the Norman overlords of England. Roland Inness desperately needs meat for his starving family, but he takes the wrong deer on the wrong nobleman's land.
