Synopsis

Don't miss this unique retelling of the Robin Hood legend!

England, 1154-1194:

• A kingdom under assault.
• A conspiracy born of anarchy.
• A hero standing against tyranny.

Falsely convicted of a shocking crime, Robin Fitzooth, the Earl of Huntingdon, finds refuge in Sherwood Forest and becomes Robin Hood.

Leading a band of men against the injustices of a malevolent sheriff and his henchmen, Robin begins to unravel a web of treachery threatening the English royal family.

As shadowy forces gather to destroy the future of a nation, Robin faces deceit, betrayal, and the ravages of war as he defends his king, his country, his people, and the woman he loves from a conspiracy so diabolical, so unexpected, that the course of history hangs in the balance.

From the mists of an ancient woodland, to lavish royal courts teeming with intrigue, to the exotic shores of the Holy Land - Robin Hood leads the fight in a battle between good and evil, justice and tyranny, the future and the past.

Part one of an exciting three-part retelling of the Robin Hood legend!

Although the books in the trilogy are not stand-alone, they do not end in cliffhangers.

Review

Authors Olivia Longueville and J.C. Plummer deliver a masterful new tale on Robin Hood. The flavor is authentic. The setting, dialogue, characters, customs, made for an impressive novel. One new delicious twist on this spin on Robin Hood is the role that Lady Marian plays throughout the book. Their blazing relationship is the centerpiece of the entire book. I'm amazed at how well this book was written. Can't wait for book two! - Benjamin at The Writing Train
Robin Hood's Dawn was a fantastically well written read and it not only creates a Robin that I found myself relating with more than any version of the character before, but also a character who is not a perfect hero...The other element of this novel that I tremendously enjoyed was Marian's character. Instead of being written solely as a damsel in distress this version of her wants to help Robin and insists on being part of his new life as a rogue. She learns to protect herself and when Robin is not there she takes matters into her own hands. - Katherine at The Nerdy Girls Express.
This exciting story and its memorable cast of characters, this fictional adventure embedded in historical fact--it all works together beautifully to create a riveting and witty narrative ... Longueville and Plummer do a fantastic job building three-dimensional characters who are easy to either root for or hate, and are always memorable. The relationships between the characters are beautifully depicted as well, the love story between Robin and Marian being an outstanding example. I am particularly pleased with how they portrayed Marian--while Robin is very protective of her and desperate to save her, she remains very independent, strong, and brave in a horrible situation. - Ariana at The Quirky Book Nerd
This is one of the best -- if not the best -- Robin Hood book I've ever read. It is amazingly written and has a solid flow, and it is also painstakingly researched. It deserves to be widely read and appreciated by all the fans of the great Robin Hood legend! The story of Robin and Marian's romance came alive for me and kept me hooked ... The characters seemed real to me, and I found myself absorbed in the inner workings of the novel's plot. - Ninelle at Goodreads
There's no way you are able to put down this book until you have finished it. You can't help but adore both Guy and Robin to some level. Robin for his dedication to Marian and his sweetness, and Guy for his loneliness and clueless determination. It is, most certainly, a new dawn for the eternal tale of Robin Hood. - K, Amazon customer
