Biography

Caught in the midst of England's War of the Roses, young Dick Shelton's loyalties are torn between a guardian who betrays him and the leader of the secret fellowship (John Amend-All), "The Black Arrow". The Houses of York and Lancaster are locked in a brutal struggle for England's crown and the fate of the kingdom is at stake. Shelton finds himself entangled in the conspiracy. In order to survive he must distinguish friend from foe and confront the tests of war, shipwreck, murder and forbidden love

 

OBSERVATION

It has been rightly pointed out The Black Arrow is set during The War of the Roses (1455-1485), and thus Richard Shelton could not have been present in this League, but Mikel Midnight has come up with the following brilliant suggestion; The Black Arrow in this case could very well be the founder of the fellowship of the Black Arrow and not John Amend-All.
