Scarlet and Robin are both fascinating characters, and it was hard to put the book down, as I anxiously turned the pages, hoping that somehow there would be a happy ending. It's a swingingly fast story, with lots of interesting revelations doled out as things progress. And Scarlet and Robin, himself burdened by guilt, find themselves drawn unwillingly to each other, while desperately waging a their war against injustice.
The danger to the people of Nottingham, meaningless pawns to the cruelty of the thief taker, grows daily. It is Scarlet, not Robin Hood, that he is most interested in. But Scarlet is no boy-she's a girl running from a dark past, who has found, in Robin's somewhat quixotic mission, a way to atone for the guilt that oppresses her.īut Guy of Guisborne, the most feared thief taker in the land, has come to Nottingham. One of these companions, the best thief of them all, and a crack hand with a knife, is the handsome Will Scarlet.
Determined to help them, he, along with the three companions that form his band of outlaws, poach and steal to feed the common folk, and rescue those who run afoul of the sheriff. When Robin of Locksley returned from the crusades, he found his lands taken from him, and his people oppressed by the cruel taxes of the Sheriff of Nottingham.
