![]() ![]() Now running Nottinghamshire, Prince John has hiked taxes solely to enrich himself. ![]() Rob is of high political standing, technically, the Earl Huntingdon of Nottinghamshire, though he was forced out by a political strike in which Prince John accused Rob’s father of betraying the kingdom. Bitterly, she becomes an outlaw, passing as male to avoid legal incrimination. After catching her, he delivered an ultimatum: either she admit her crime and go straight to jail, or redeem herself by joining his clan. ![]() A number of years ago, Scarlet, then an amateur thief, had fumbled an attempt to steal from Rob. The novel begins by introducing the primary tension between Rob and Scarlet. Together, they face off against the antagonist Gisbourne, a thief consumed by greed, while dancing between a succession of revelations about each of the characters’ pasts. With “Rob,” she wanders Sherwood Forest outside Nottinghamshire, concealing that she is gradually becoming more interested in Rob himself than his moral mission. Updating the classic story of Robin Hood with a romantic twist, it follows one of the moral thief’s protégés, Scarlet, who poses as a man in order to join the band of Robin of Locksley after the vigilante blackmails her to join him. Scarlet is a work of English folklore by A.C. ![]()
