The Archer's Diary

by Liam Cadoc

Overview

"The Archer's Diary" blends medieval history with modern thriller in this ambitious novel by Liam Cadoc.

When Logan Daggett's parents die in a suspicious car crash in England, he finds himself inheriting mysterious ancient artifacts and discovering he has an unknown sister. The plot that follows unfolds as both a hunt for buried treasure and hidden truths, bringing to mind "The Da Vinci Code" in its blending of modernity and history.

The novel shines in its masterful combination of medieval history with contemporary family drama and adventure. At its heart, the riveting mystery of a 12th-century archer's legacy drives the narrative forward with mounting tension and satisfying revelations. The author's clear deep passion for the subject matter elevates this thriller above standard historical fiction pot-boiler fare. But perhaps most importantly, the characters all feel remarkably well-developed and human, grappling with loss, betrayal, and family secrets against the backdrop of centuries-old mysteries.

This thrilling adventure could rewrite a nation's history, ignite international conflict, and reveal to the world the irrefutable truth behind a legendary hero - with a twist.

Table of Contents

Since the 14th century, Robin Hood has proven to be one of the most enduring and versatile folk heroes. Medieval historians believed Robin lived during the 12th or 13th centuries, but despite decades of intense research by contemporary scholars, solid evidence has never been found.

Until now.

Logan Daggett, son of Donald Daggett, well known CEO of one of Australia's largest wine producers, has his 21st birthday celebrations disrupted by a family tragedy, the revelation of his mother's decades-old secret—and a birthday gift of a collection of centuries-old family heirlooms. This series of events contrive to change the course of his life forever.

Accompanied by his two closest friends, the young Aussie sets out to uncover the truth behind the accident that irrevocably changed his life, and to research the authenticity of the priceless heirlooms, completely unaware of the adventure and dangers lurking around every corner.

During the course of their journey they uncover irrefutable proof the legendary Robin Hood is real. A 900 year-old heirloom holds the answers to all the questions ever asked about Robin Hood – even his origin and real name. Evidence that causes further turmoil among the family, sparks controversy among medieval scholars worldwide, and the potential of sparking upheaval to a country's history and creating conflict between two nations.
