Isobelle is on the run. After her rash actions at the Kirklees convent where her mother, Marien, is the prioress, she is a wanted fugitive – wanted by King John’s Wolf. AS she follows her mother’s directions, she is taken in by the Merry Men. But in order to stay, she must prove her worth.
This take on Robin Hood’s story is through the eyes of Robin and Marien’s daughter. I will say that I was very angry at the end of the book – I don’t think the author needed to do what she did in order to further Isobelle’s story. Plus, there is not a very wide audience for a Robin Hood retelling. My favorite of the recent retellings is Forest Queen by Betsy Cornwell.
