Can Alys restore the Lion's Heart to England's throne?

Alys Fletcher Hood is leaving Nottinghamshire and England for the first time in her life, on a quest to save King Richard the Lionhearted from captivity following the end of his crusade. But she's not the only one racing to find the king, and when her journey over the waters ends abruptly, she faces new challenges and meets new friends on her journey.

Charged with leading warriors in greater numbers than ever before, Alys's attempt to win the king's freedom takes an unexpected turn, and the king himself orders Alys to return to England and protect her people until he can return.

Back in Nottingham, can Alys rally the Merry Many to restore justice when it means standing against not only family but also the prince and legal regent of the land? Alys must choose between protecting those whom she loves and fighting for what's right.
