This is book #3 of the Scarlet series. Scarlet is now a princess. She is no longer a thief working with Robin Hood. She is learning the proper way to run the kingdom, while at the same time, face opponents, threats of the people who are making her kingdom fall, and her own heart. In this book you are finally provided the opportunity of finding out about the fate of the famous Lady Thief, in this retelling of Robin Hood.
This story beginning where Lady Thief left off. She is imprisoned by Prince John for months, finding herself a long way from Nottinghamshire; her kingdom.
After many months of being imprisoned and faking her own death. She is able to buy herself some time from Prince John who is hunting for her. She is able to escape with the help of Allan and David; two very important people in this book. While undercover, she learns that King Richard, who is her father’s life, is in jeopardy. Eleanor of Aquitaine, her grandmother, demands a service which Scarlet cannot refuse. She will spy for her grandmother and help bring King Richard home safely. But fate—and her heart—will not allow her to stay away from Nottinghamshire for long. Together, Scarlet and Rob, must stop Prince John from going through with his dark plans for England.
In this book, you will find a wedding, a runaway couple, and many fights against death, wars, deaths, action, cruel punishments, a baby, and then a predictable ending.
I was a constant fan of Scarlet’s. She was finally able to become the lady she was meant to be. Even though her thievery is still there present, she now has both parts close to her heart; thief and princess.
I would have liked to have learned what happened after? Children? Overall, the story was sweet, with a hint of romance and satisfying.
