When a frightened young outlaw joins a gang of violent criminals their names — against a backdrop of death, dishonour, brotherhood, and love — will become legend.
ENGLAND 1321 AD
After viciously assaulting a corrupt but powerful clergyman Robin Hood flees the only home he has ever known in Wakefield, Yorkshire. Becoming a member of a notorious band of outlaws, Hood and his new companions — … new companions — including John Little and Will Scaflock — hide out in the great forests of Barnsdale, fighting for their very existence as the law hunts them down like animals.
When they are betrayed, and their harsh lives become even more unbearable, the band of friends seeks bloody vengeance.
Meanwhile, the country is in turmoil, as many of the powerful lords strive to undermine King Edward II’s rule until, inevitably, rebellion becomes a reality and the increasingly deadly yeoman outlaw from Wakefield finds his fate bound up with that of a Hospitaller Knight…
Wolf’s Head brings the brutality, injustice and intensity of life in medieval England vividly to life, and marks the beginning of a thrilling new historical fiction series in the style of Bernard Cornwell and Simon Scarrow.

Well done story. Easy read and entertaining
I didn’t read very much of it, but what I read I did not like–it was just too far from what I was looking for.
OK if you want to hear the Robinhood Story again. SLow and plodding. Not worth the time.
I thought the book interesting change of Robin Hood specific setting. Entertaining telling of saga, but at times convenient twists. Characters less complex than I hoped for. Entertaining light reading
Indiscriminate violence was in every chapter. It made the characters less than admirable and sympathetic.
Story was great. Could have done with less profanity.
Kid’s book
Just awful. Like a high school sophomore creative writing effort. No wonder it was on sale.
Too much history for my liking.
I thought this book was terrible. It was like the writer couldn’t come up with his own story line. It was just Robin Hood with terrible curse words.
Supposed to be about Robin Hood but placed 100 years after the original time period. Bait and switch
