On King John’s command, all convicted male felons from England’s jails are being sent to fight in France.
Word reaches Nottingham Castle that the King’s Chief Recruiter is paying a visit, and the Sheriff orders Sir Guy of Gisburne to gather a few men from each local village to make up the numbers. Gisburne has recently become enraged by a young boy’s ritualistic chants to Herne the Hunter and vows to capture him for this very purpose.
Robin is angered by this new people tax… but his rage is nothing compared to that of Will Scarlet when he hears the chief recruiter’s name: James D’Marelle.
For Will and the recruiter have met before… many years ago…
JENNIFER ASH
With a background in history and archaeology, Jennifer Ash should really be sitting in a dusty university library translating Medieval Latin criminal records, and writing research documents that hardly anyone would want to read. Instead, tucked away in the South West of England, Jennifer writes stories of medieval crime, steeped in mystery, with a side order of romance.
Influenced by a lifelong love of Robin Hood and medieval ballad literature, Jennifer has written “The Outlaw’s Ransom” – a mini novel which first saw the light of day within the novel “Romancing Robin Hood” (written under the name, Jenny Kane) Its sequels “The Winter Outlaw”, “Edward’s Outlaw” and “Outlaw Justice,” continue the medieval murder mystery series.
