Nottingham Omnibus

In this brutal medieval noir, the Sheriff of Nottingham hunts killers, battles rebels, and unravels conspiracies—all while being hunted himself. With the ruthless “Hood” and the Merry Men waging war from the shadows, justice is a bloody game in a kingdom ruled by fear. In this gritty, twisted medieval noir, the Sheriff of Nottingham wages a brutal war on crime, corruption and rebellion across fifteen blood-soaked chapters. As he hunts killers, uncovers conspiracies and clashes with the Merry Men—led by the mysterious and dangerous “Hood”—the Sheriff finds himself caught between England’s most ruthless power-brokers and the outlaws of Sherwood Forest. No one is innocent, and loyalty is a weapon in a land ruled by fear, secrets and steel.
