Heart of Sherwood
Rainbow Award
By Edale Lane
What if Robin Hood was real, only the heroic outlaw had been a woman?
Robyn lost everything: her home, her family, and her freedom. Branded as an outlaw by the sheriff, she reinvents herself, joining Little John and his band in the guise of a boy, and soon becomes their leader. But she misses the woman she loves, her best friend Marian.
Marian is distraught over the news concerning Robyn and wishes to leave court for Nottingham to find her. Queen Eleanor sends her back to spy on Prince John, Sir Guy, and the greedy sheriff, while she tries to raise money for King Richard’s ransom. Marian forges an alliance with Robyn to foil a traitorous plot and discovers her feelings run much deeper than friendship.
Can Robyn win Marian’s love, help the poor of Nottingham, save the king, and defeat the sheriff, or will his merciless sword strike her down?
