The Black Arrow -- Markheim Produced by Marius Masi, Jonathan Ingram and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 08" by Stevenson is a collection of literary works, written in the late 19th century. This volume notably features "The Black Arrow," a historical novel set during the tumultuous period of the Wars of the Roses in England. The story revolves around young Richard Shelton, who finds himself entwined in a web of intrigue, loyalty, and vengeance, particularly relating to the mysterious figure of Sir Daniel, his guardian. The opening of "The Black Arrow" introduces readers to Richard Shelton, who is a ward of Sir Daniel Brackley, as news of an impending battle begins to circulate in Tunstall hamlet. As Richard converses with local villagers about the call to arms, the narrative builds tension regarding the ongoing conflicts between the rival factions of Lancaster and York. A key character, the old archer Nick Appleyard, is violently killed by a mysterious black arrow, signaling the deepening strife and betrayal. This compelling start sets the stage for Richard’s journey as he grapples with loyalty to his guardian while contending with the history of his father’s murder, ultimately leading him on a path of defiance against the people who have wronged him and his kin.
