The Archer’s Diary
Book 1
by Liam Cadoc
Genre: Historical Action, Adventure, Crime Thriller
THE LEGEND IS REAL
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 century 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 international corporations, 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
evidence that causes further turmoil among the family, spark controversy among
medieval scholars worldwide, and the potential of sparking upheaval to a
country's history and creating conflict between two nations.
Liam Cadoc's stunning debut to historical fiction sweeps
readers into a ruthless world where greed and corruption threaten to deprive a
nation of historical riches and the world of the truth behind a legendary hero.
This is Book 1 of a 2-book set.

Cadoc endeavors to create a feasible balance of historical
fact and fiction into his writing in order to meet his obligation, as an
author, to his readers. To that end he spends a large part of his conceptual
writing on researching the world in which the characters will inhabit.
"I've always had a fascination with history, particularly the medieval
period of England and the Arthurian Legend. Though my genre is historical
fiction, I hope that my readers will come away with a better understanding and
appreciation for how people survived and endured before the inception of the
basic luxuries we take for granted each day.”
Retiring in 2016, he then spent 9 years working on THE
ARCHER'S DIARY, his first historical fiction / modern thriller adventure novel.
Most of that time was devoted to in-depth research.
He penned his first fiction while in high school and was
quickly recognized by the English staff and his class for his vibrant
imagination. He was also a talented artist and, after graduating, followed a
45+ year career as a graphic designer in the publishing industry compelling him
to put aside writing for a number of years.
