Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Outlaw of Torn" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a historical novel published as a serial in 1914. Set during thirteenth-century England's Second Barons' War, it follows Norman of Torn, a deadly outlaw raised by a vengeful fencing master to hate all things English. Leading the largest band of thieves in England, Norman becomes entangled in the rebellion alongside Simon de Montfort while falling for his daughter. But a striking resemblance to Prince Edward hints at a shocking secret about Norman's true identity.
