I did it again--read the third in the series before the 2nd!! (Yes, I did the read the first!!) This is the 2nd in the series and it is action packed!! There is a bit of everything in this one. Magic, tension, a new woman for Robin and it does get violent!! The bad guy actually gets what coming to him--witchvraft was frowned upon in that day and age.
I really loved this series--history combined with fiction is always interesting. This author certainly knows how to combine the two so that you will never be bored!! I have read many of her books and have never been disappointed with any of them.
About the Book: (from Amazon)
Robin of Locksley, Lord of the Hood, continues his mission to help the people of Sherwood against the oppression of the Sheriff of Nottingham, even though his wife Marian, wounded in body and soul, has left him for the safety of Kirklees Priory. Mourning her loss, Robin has become hard and embittered—the Summer Lord has turned into a Winter King. At the Merlin Stone, deep in Sherwood, San Tan the guardian fire speaks of one who is coming, who will shake the foundations of the young outlaw’s life. Change arrives in the form of Clarimonde, Queen of the Shepherdesses, a mysterious girl who begs the Wolfsheads to aid the people of North Yorkshire against pirates sent by the exiled Prince John. Robyn regains some of his old fire when he aids Clarimonde—but when she seeks to join the outlaw band he refuses and they part in anger. Clarimonde heads south on her own, leaving Robyn and his men to face a new, sinister threat from Eustais de Lisle, Sheriff of Nottingham. Seeking revenge, de Lisle has contacted a necromancer to help him defeat Robyn o’ the Wood. The sorcerer is given a corpse, a special corpse, to weave his dark magic—and from it he crafts the terrible Brazen Head. The Head can only speak the truth. The Head can Prophecy. The Head can track down the Greenwood King—even to London, where Robyn joins the doomed rebellion of the demagogue known to history as William Longbeard.
