Robin Hood is not the man you thought she was . . .

When headstrong Robin of Locksley rebels against a tyrant's wishes, the consequences soon prove deadly. Hunted by both her father and the Sheriff, Robin is forced to hide her identity and seek refuge as an outlaw in Sherwood Forest. Disguised as a man for protection, Robin isolates herself from the world around her . . . until the day she steps in to save a young boy's life.

Thus begins Robin's rise to leadership in Sherwood Forest, but while her efforts to provide a life of honor and purpose for her people win Robin high esteem, they enrage the Sheriff of Nottingham, who plots a deadly fate for her and her band. As the Sheriff's traps close in around her and assassins seek to bring her down, Robin must risk losing love, leadership, and life if she is to save her people and fulfill her destiny as one of history's greatest heroes.

Alive with adventure and danger, sword fights and heists, hatred and love, Robin: Lady of Legend is the never-before-told tale of the girl who became Robin Hood.


Praise from Amazon Readers
"Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous retell . . . this Robin gives young girls a role model that isn't dressed as the beautiful helpless princess. Honestly, I couldn't put my Kindle down."
"Robin is my new hero! This is one of the best books I've ever read. It looked entertaining so I thought I would have a look, but once I started I couldn't stop!"
"Definitely worth your time if you like adventures, heroes, and a bit of romance!"

"The Robin Hood legend gets an imaginative and lavishly detailed retelling here. Descriptive scenes evoke the very sounds and smells of Robin's beloved Sherwood, and the dialogue and rich characterization bring her and her companions to life. Add in a briskly plotted story, and a female hero to turn legend upside down, and you have a winner."


Praise from Publishers Weekly

"The storytelling is solid, the research is thorough, the details are spot-on, and the skill is undeniable.... As Robin Hood retellings go, it's pretty much a bullseye."

"I was reading this book before bed, and I was going 'Well, I'll read just one more minute!' thirty minutes in a row. When I finally got to bed, I couldn't wait to wake up and finish it. The writing was excellent with no errors... In short, this book was AWESOME and I would highly recommend it." — My Full Bookshelf
