England. 1191. Early summer. In the forests of middle England, a guerrilla war is being waged between corrupt authority and a band of good-intentioned merry men operating outside the law. In the forests of Sherwood, no evil man is safe; in the corridors of Nottingham Castle, no good one is welcome. You know the score; now enough of the clichés. Repeatedly outwitted by the wily Robin, under-appreciated by the treacherous Sheriff, and set on a path of seemingly impossible pursuit of the haughty Lady Marian, Sir Guy of Gisborne has every reason to be frustrated with his lot in life. When a beautiful servant girl crosses his path, he cannot resist the diversion she offers. But who is Lucy Ratcliffe and what does she want of him: a lover, a master or a slave? This new romance tells a tale rarely spoken of in conventional stories of Robin Hood. Prepare to wander into the dark side of Sherwood, and gaze into the eyes of a haunted man, whose heart, he is soon to discover, is as big as his soaring ambition...
