Publisher Description
After a fateful hunting accident sends her on the run from the law, Robyn finds herself deep in the heart of Sherwood Forest. All she really wants to do is provide for her family and stay out of trouble, but when the damnable Sheriff of Nottingham levies the largest tax in the history of England, she's forced to take matters into her own hands. Relying on the help of her merry band of misfits and the Sheriff’s intriguing—and off-limits—daughter, Marian, Robyn must find a way to pull off the biggest heist Sherwood has ever seen.
With both heart and freedom at stake, just how much is she willing to risk to ensure the safety of the ones she loves?
Nottingham is a delightful romp rife with bois bearing bows, transmen wielding quarterstaffs, noble ladies loving ladies bawdy bisexual musicians, naughty nonbinary outlaws, and saucy sapphic nuns—in other words, Robyn Hood like you've never seen her before.

Captivating
I’d never read anything by Anna Burke before, but somehow learned about this and it piqued my interest. The premise is great. Robyn Hood, rather than Robin Hood. The writing is so rich and detailed I was captivated from the first page to the last. So much going on and I felt like I truly had gone back in time to understand what it must’ve been like for women (horrible) during this period in history. I just learned this book has been nominated for an award and I’m not the least surprised. I was surprised at myself because I’m usually not into historical literature (and this IS truly literature) but it was a great escape and I loved every minute of it.~castaway
