Before the noose could be placed, her soldiers staged a riot and she was able to escape into Sherwood forest. With her hands still tied and Guy's soldiers in pursuit, she was able to elude capture. Eventually injured and thrown from her horse, Merrion blacked out. This is how Robyn Hode, the King of Thieves, and his men found her. They took her to Greenwood, a secret village deeply hidden in the forest. Thus begins the story.

I like reading a classic story retold by a different author. It gives a new prospective on a beloved favorite. While I loved the action, romance, and heroics, I would have liked for the characters to have been just a little more in depth. As a reader, I liked to be immersed in a given story and I felt sympathy for some of the characters, but at times I didn't experience their pain or conflict. That aside, the love scenes were very engaging and physical and I really enjoyed how the author ended the work so that the reader wasn't left hanging. A good read!
