Description

In the green depths of Sherwood and Barnesdale, a boy named Robert Fitzooth learns the art of the longbow from his forester father while his mother teaches him courtesy and letters. He spends evenings absorbed in his father's tales of the legendary Will o’ the Green, dreaming of the rustle of leaves and the thrum of arrows. With a talent for whittling shafts and a heart tuned to the forest’s whispers, young Robert feels most alive when the bow is in his hands. This early life shapes a skilled and principled youth who knows both the rigors of duty and the freedom of the woods.

Robert’s world expands through secret meetings with his cousin‑like friend Will Gamewell and the noble Marian Fitzwalter, whose families are locked in a bitter feud. Their clandestine signals from treetop perches betray a loyalty that ignores the enmity between their houses. As the lean Sheriff of Nottingham and the fat Bishop of Hereford conspire against his father, Robert faces the sudden loss of his home and status. The mounting threats set the stage for the yeoman to step beyond the forest’s edge and embrace a path that will turn him into the outlaw legend of England.
