'Mercy is wasted on the merciless." In the reign of Edward III of Windsor, when Roger Mortimer rules supreme in all but name, Matilda Fitzwalter, Lady of Barndale, travels to Nottingham to settle her father's debts when she is ambushed. The band of three thieves are led by one calling himself Robin Hood; a common alias in those parts, once the name of a centuries-old hero borrowed by many a beggar and burglar to protect their identities. After being shown mercy by the bandits, Matilda continues on only to find that her father's debts to the Sheriff have increased, and that she has three months to collect two-thousand pounds or be thrown from her ancestral home. Desperate for money and with nowhere else to turn, Matilda takes inspiration from her brush with the gang of robbers and ventures into the woods to find the one called Robin. With her new compatriots, she plans to rob the Sheriff and all the rich folk of the county, taking a portion of the treasure for herself to repay her father's debts and restore her family's fortune. As the gang grows and their plans become ever more complicated, will their actions come with more disastrous consequences too?All Rights Reserved
