In the lush woodlands of Sherwood and Barnesdale, a young yeoman named Robin learns the art of the longbow under his father’s watchful eye. Amidst tales of the daring outlaw Will o’ the Green, he discovers a love for the forest’s freedom and a secret friendship with Marian, the Earl’s daughter whose family opposes his own. Robin’s mother hopes for a courtly future, teaching him manners and literacy, yet his heart stays tied to the rustle of leaves and the thrill of a well‑aimed arrow.
When political intrigue forces his father, the royal forester, out of his post, the family is suddenly stripped of status and threatened by the Sheriff of Nottingham and the Bishop of Hereford. Facing betrayal and loss, Robin’s sense of justice ignites, setting him on a path that will transform him from a humble archer into the legendary outlaw who daringly defies the law to protect the common folk.
