Publisher Description
The third book in an epic reimagining of the Robin Hood legend.
"Pray God our aim is true and each arrow finds its mark."
King Raven has brought hope to the oppressed people of Wales--and fear to their Norman overlords. Deceived by the self-serving King William and hunted by the treacherous Abbot Hugo and Sheriff de Glanville, Rhi Bran is forced again to take matters into his own hands as King Raven.
Along the way Friar Tuck has been the stalwart supporter of the man behind the legend--bringing Rhi Bran much-needed guidance, wit, and faithful companionship.
Aided by Tuck and his small but determined band of forest-dwelling outlaws, Rhi Bran ignites a rebellion that spreads through the Welsh valleys, forcing the wily monarch to marshal his army and march against little Elfael.
This epic trilogy dares to shatter everything you thought you knew about Robin Hood as Stephen R. Lawhead conjures an ancient past while holding a mirror to contemporary realities. Filled with unforgettable characters, breathtaking suspense, and rousing battle scenes, Stephen R. Lawhead's masterful retelling of the Robin Hood legend reaches its stunning conclusion in Tuck.

"This is the third and final book in the King Raven series and it finishes the series very well. I was not that impressed with the first book (it could be because I was visiting my daughter and so wasn't reading it very fast). I really liked the second book partly because it was told in a very interesting way in the first person by Will Scadlocke (or Scarlet). I was a little afraid that I wasn't going to like this book as well when it reverted to the third person, but fortunately that wasn't the case."

Tuck Listener Reviews

" Not at all what I expected, but a great ending to the series. "
— Tabitha, 2/19/2014 -
" I've got to say, I love the idea of a Welsh Robin Hood, and I love this interpretation of the myth. "
— Ginn, 2/16/2014 -
" Very good. I enjoyed the whole series. Very different twist on the tale of Robin Hood. I love all the history and lore in it. I highly recommend this book and series. "
— Heather, 2/2/2014 -
" Another amazing book by Lawhead. Loved this Robin Hood series! Here's a quote from this book, p. 334, "In hope we do abide. As children of the Swift Sure Hand, hope is our true home. Hope is the treasure of our souls." "
— Suzanne, 1/31/2014 -
" I really enjoyed this book and all the books in this triology. A great end to the Robin Hood tale. "
— Sadie, 1/11/2014 -
" A good read but not a great read. I was expecting more from this series and now that I have finished it I am not sure why. It is a good to see the famous Robin Hood turned into a more realistic rendition of a possible past and I always love a good historical fiction as it is. The story has been so well covered by hollywood ever 10 years though that the story line is tediously boring and predictable. Lawhead is one of the very best writers out there. I can't take that away from him. His Byzantium novel was the first book that I ever read in which I could "smell" and "feel" the words on paper. There is some of that here but this series is not even 1/10 of that book. I am left feeling as if one of my paper heroes masks have fallen from their face but I still appreciate the skill and wisdom contained but I doubt now that I could ever read another of his works with such anticipation again. "
— Dale, 1/10/2014 -
" Entertaining enough - the entire series feels fresh given the Robin Hood tales aren't frequently tread in historical fiction, but Lawhead's writing leaves a lot to be desired. "
— Victoria, 1/8/2014 -
" Lawhead puts a Welsh twist on the familiar tale, and it comes off well. After a bit of mysticism in the first book of the trilogy, he brings the story around and gives more flavor to the Scarlet, O'Dale and Father Tuck characters, and less so the hero. Nice read. "
— Greg, 12/21/2013 -
" A bit fantastic in spots, but Lawhead usually pushes the envelope. I liked it, and it brougth the series to a nice end. "
— Frode, 12/13/2013 -
" My favorite of the three - if you have put in the effort of a trilogy, the final book shoudl feel satisfying and wrap up all the plot points. This did it with a bang! "
— Jim, 11/17/2013 -
" I am very satisfied with this whole series. Very interesting, very suspenceful, a truly worthy book to read. "
— Kristy, 11/16/2013 -

" Aye, it's a good read en't it? :) "
— Sheri-lee, 11/22/2012 -
" Good ending to the trilogy. Although the middle book drug a little, this picked up and rounded things out nicely. This isn't literature that will change the world, but it was a fun read. "
— Heidi, 11/7/2012 -
" Could not put it down. This is my favorite trilogy. I agree with other's reviews... This is the best book of the trio. You'll be sorry when it's done. "
— David, 11/5/2012 -
" Probably the best book of the trilogy. While at some points you could tell he was just trying to pull the darn story together - and the writing sometimes was a tad clunky - overall a well crafted story. I thought the resolution was nicely done. "
— Angela, 6/30/2012 -
" A great ending to a great series. Friar Tuck takes on a central role and the Cymry triumph, though not in the way you might expect. Recommended! "
— J., 5/11/2012 -
" Lots of action and a good resolve--the book ended where it started off. "
— Jason, 4/25/2012 -
" Lawhead masterfully finishes the series with a scathing review of the church during the time period. I loved it, and thought it came off as very believable. "
— Daniel, 3/31/2012 -
" What a fantastic way to end this series! I feel the need to go back and read all of the books by Lawhead that I have and then get the ones that I don't have! "
— Jason, 3/17/2012 -
" The end of the trilogy left me wanting more, but in a good way. =) "
— Margaret, 12/31/2011 -
" Oh, it was a marvelous ending to the series! It could have been about twice as long, though... And I wish it included an account of Robin and Mèrian's wedding, but well-a-day, 'twas still incredible. "
— Helen, 5/17/2011 -
" My favorite of the three - if you have put in the effort of a trilogy, the final book shoudl feel satisfying and wrap up all the plot points. This did it with a bang! <br/> <br/> "
— Jim, 5/2/2011 -
" A very satisfying end to the King Raven trilogy, even if the epilogue felt a bit tacked-on. "
— Redsteve, 4/18/2011 -
" Finishing the tale of Robin and the outcome of the uprising....Start at the first of triology if you are going to read as some background is necessary. "
— Bob, 3/19/2011 -

— Chris, 1/21/2011 -
" Well, by the third book it all seemed rather predictable, and there was not a lot of depth of character, but I still loved it, and I enjoyed, at the end how the author showed how a story an change and grow over time to the legends we know now. "
— Elizabeth, 1/8/2011 -
" I enjoyed this, but it didn't captivate me. "
— Rae, 1/1/2011 -
" VERY good series. I really like the care Lawhead took to do the historical research and incorporate it into the stories. "
— Adán, 12/1/2010 -
