Long time antagonist of the Robin Hood tale, the Sheriff of Nottingham, has been terrorizing the town, and his new companion, Guy of Gisborne, tries to woo Marian, hoping to take Robin Hood’s place. Sherwood follows Maid Marian as she attempts to cope with the loss of the love of her life, while stepping up to fill the void he left, as the protector of Locksley Town.

Sherwood , Spooner’s newest novel, tells the tale of Maid Marian, Robin’s long time love interest, as she follows in her late love’s footsteps while remaining independent and unabashedly feminist. Meagan Spooner is the latest author to take on the tale, except there is one major twist: Robin of Locksley is dead. Adaptations of the classic tale rarely feel stale, if only because there is so much to work with. The story of Robin Hood is one that has been told time and time again, from various perspectives and with various plots.
