Musta nuoli: Kertomus Ruusujen ajalta

Set against the green valleys of a medieval kingdom ruled by King Henrik VI, the story opens in the quiet village of Tunstall, where a sudden, unheard‑until‑now bell summons a crowd of peasants, farmers and a lone dark‑haired stranger. Among them stands the youthful Richard Shelton, a lanky, grey‑eyed squire barely out of his teens, dressed in a sable‑velvet collar and bearing a steel‑tipped bow. As the villagers debate the meaning of the mysterious chime, the young man is thrust into a web of loyalties, secret orders, and the promise of a looming conflict that could reshape their world.

The narrative follows Richard as he navigates the uneasy alliances of local lords, the cryptic messages of Sir Daniel and Sir Oliver, and the restless stirrings of a people on the brink of war. Through vivid descriptions of timber‑framed houses, stone bridges, and the looming church cross, the novel captures the tension between duty and survival, inviting listeners to experience the restless pulse of a land poised for upheaval.
