'You aren't merry ' said Clem to her captor. 'And you aren't all men. So there's been some
marketing confusion somewhere along the line.' When Mariel finds out that her band of Merry
Men have kidnapped the wrong person she's a whole new level of miffed. They were supposed to
be bringing back the regional healer Old Rosie who rumour has it has been aiding the
Sheriff of Nottingham. They were not supposed to kidnap her assistant Clem - a chatty
freckled curly-haired whirlwind of a teenage girl who is unnervingly cheerful about being
knocked out with horrible-smelling herbs and bundled into the back of a wagon. As the
granddaughter of Robin Hood and a newly blooded captain of the Merry Men Mariel has a lot to
prove and this mission has gone instantly and massively pear-shaped . So begins a love story
to rival that of Robin Hood and Maid Marian and an adventure that will change the lives of the
inhabitants of the Greenwood for good - not to mention the course of myth and history.
