Reviewed by Joy H. for Readers Favorite ‘… this book captured me in the beginning and I was engulfed in its pages until the very end. A true thrilling page turner with characters that will surely keep you on your toes. Prue Batten’s “Gisborne: Book of Pawns” is for sure Guy of Gisborne without Robin Hood, without the Sheriff of Nottingham and without Maid Marian. A twisted and enticing tale that you will not want to end, this story will stay with you … after you read the last page. This is a book you will be happy you read!’

Twelfth century England – a time when status means power.
Guy of Gisborne – a man of disturbing secrets and subtle skills, Robin Hood’s nemesis.
Ysabel of Moncrieff – a woman of status whose life changes with the receipt of a letter.
Two people drawn together by loyalty, lust, and a lost inheritance and whose existence depends on whom they trust, on how they move between Church and State … and on how they play the game.This is a re-written history – no Robin, no Sheriff of Nottingham, no Marian.
Gisborne’s journey to status and power follows another road entirely, perhaps even more treacherous than the original.
