About this book
When Edgar Rice Burroughs reimagines 13th century England, he creates *The Outlaw of Torn*, a sweeping adventure centered on Norman of Torn, a legendary outlaw whose reign of terror shaped a nation's destiny during civil war.
Raised as an instrument of vengeance by a vengeful Frenchman, Norman becomes England's most fearless swordsman and the leader of the realm's largest band of outlaws. Yet beneath his brutality lies a secret: a priest's teachings in chivalry and letters have awakened something the boy's maker never intended. As Norman navigates treacherous alliances with powerful nobles and encounters the mysterious Lady Bertrade, he finds himself caught between his manufactured hatred and an unexpected pull toward honor.

The narrative builds toward a shocking revelation that transforms everything—an identity hidden for decades that reframes Norman's entire existence and sets the stage for redemption.
Perfect for listeners who crave classic adventure fiction with historical depth, *The Outlaw of Torn* delivers the fast-paced action and character complexity that made Burroughs a legendary storyteller. Experience a forgotten legend brought vividly to life.
