Product Description

Product Description

* * * 2ND PRIZE WINNER IN AMAZON'S BREAKTHROUGH NOVEL AWARD CONTEST! * * *

Robin Hood is given an incredible spin in this fast-paced, exciting adventure story by #1 Amazon bestselling author R.M. ArceJaeger.

When circumstances force Robin of Locksley to flee her home, she is thrust into an outlaw life in Sherwood forest. Disguised as a man for protection, she soon finds herself at the center of a band of outcasts where her archery skills, integrity, and force of character propel her into a leadership role. With a secret to hide, a band to sustain, and a Sheriff hot on her trail, Robin will need all her courage and ingenuity if she is to survive.

Join the journey readers are calling "delightfully clever," "perfectly developed," and "truly amazing" as Robin learns to accept her role as both lady and leader and carves a place for herself as one of history's greatest heroes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Retelling of A Classic Figure 30 Jan 2012
By Ursula K. Raphael TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
There are so many books, movies, etc., on the legend of Robin Hood that I was really impressed that the author was able to come up with something fresh and original. In this case, Robin is a young woman living as a young man in order to avoid being married to the Sheriff of Nottingham. There are some other noteworthy changes with the relationships that Robin has with the other characters, but I don't want to spoil the surprises. The author does not simply retell the same story with a woman instead of a man, but this new version does stay true to the moral lessons that accompany the traditional Robin Hood legends about helping others less fortunate. This is a very enjoyable interpretation of a classic story.

If you enjoy this story, you might also like A Stepmother's Story: The TRUE Tale of Cinderella, which features another twist on an old favorite.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun twist on a classic 11 Feb 2012
By blue24
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a must read, an enjoyable twist on the classic Robin Hood story that you won't want to put down. It does require some suspension of belief, for example the heroine learns to talk like a man within a day, but you're soon swept away with the story. The author doesn't simply retell Robin Hood with Robin as a women, instead the tale is re-imagined and reinvented with different plot points and different relationships between the characters. Unfortunately the ending feels a little rushed and a little contrived (the author is clearly providing a lead in to a sequel), but only a little, and I sincerely hope the author writes that sequel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Robin Hood and her merry band of rogues... 15 April 2012
By Cheryl M-M TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a fun twist to the old tale of Robin Hood. It challenges everything you might have read whilst still remaining true to the original story. In this version our well known merry rogue of thieves is a girl with the skills of a man and devil may care attitude to boot. At least the Sheriff is still the ghastly menace everyone loves to hate. I really enjoyed the opening chapters and the beautiful flow of descriptive text. I think the writer has to make sure that it remains consistent though as some of the story and dialogue dips into less remarkable periods. Aside from that I think it was a very good read and would recommend it to children/YA and adults. I received a complimentary copy of this book for my review.
