The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses

Set against the turbulent backdrop of the War of the Roses, this tale follows a restless youth from the modest hamlet of Tunstall who is drawn into a world of intrigue when an unexpected bell summons the village to the imposing Moat House. Inside the stone halls, secret messages and shifting loyalties hint at a larger conflict between rival lords, and a mysterious black arrow becomes a symbol of both danger and destiny. As alliances form and betrayals loom, the protagonist must decide where his true allegiance lies.

Stevenson's narrative weaves together vivid descriptions of medieval forests, bustling market lanes, and the shadowy corridors of abbeys, bringing the period to life with a blend of humor and suspense. The story balances swash‑buckling action—skirmishes, daring escapes, and whispered conspiracies—with moments of personal growth as the young hero confronts the moral complexities of war. Listeners will be swept along by the rich character voices and the promise of a quest that could change the fate of a kingdom.
