The Tragedy of the Traitor - A Robin Hood Story, #4

When his entire family is killed in a tragic fire, young Allen of the Dale sets off on the Crusades in the hope of dying in battle. Instead, he encounters Robin Hood and a renewed vigor to live and love again. Yet through it all, he is plagued by the fear of losing those he is learning to care about. When a choice arises to save a life by betraying the very people he loves, Allen doesn't hesitate.
Death, for him, is the far worse option. But as the smoke dissipates and the consequences of his choice spread like the fire that killed his family, one burning question remains: was it worth it, in the end?
