Will Scatlocke languishes in a Norman jail, awaiting execution. Every day he dictates a little more of his history to Odo, a monk and Abbot Hugo's scribe. Will's story is a dance; he skips through the tale of his happy childhood, his dispossession by the hated Norman invaders, his journey to the forests of Wales and his time with the insurgency led by King Raven, or Rhi Bran y Hud - the Robin Hood of legend. All the time he must say enough to keep him alive, but not enough to give away his comrades in the resistance. And all the time Odo faithfully writes the story down, seeming even to take in a little of the injustice he chronicles.
