There was no man called Robin Hood. Because I am no man.
Lady Marian, once the beloved Princess of Sherwood, was only sixteen when her father rode off to fight in the Crusades, leaving his kingdom under the despotic rule of his brother, Prince John. The night her uncle sends an assassin upon her, Marian flees to Sherwood Forest, where she meets and forges an unbreakable bond with six other outlawed young women.
Now, the nineteen-year-old princess-in-exile and her Merry Maidens gallivant through the greenwood, cloaked under the aliases of Rob-in-Hood and his Merry Men. Together, they uphold their vendetta of mischief, undermining the Prince at every turn, robbing the rich and giving to the poor--all while outrunning their sworn nemesis, the odious Sheriff of Nottingham.
After a scheme takes an unexpected turn and Marian's only recourse is to abduct the Sheriff, the lady brigands find themselves in over their heads, stuck with an unrelenting and formidable captive. But, as Marian is about to discover, sometimes people aren't what they seem... After all, she would know.
Revisit the legend of Robin Hood like you've never read it in this wildly imaginative, adventurous, and utterly romantic retelling by C.K. Brooke, multi-award-winning author of I, Guinevere and Secrets of Artemis!

Marian, Princess Thief by C.K. Brooke, is another fantastic tale about a woman doing something that she is told she shouldn’t be doing in her time.

Can Marian keep her secret identity still?

Marian

Marian is the Crown Princess of Sherwood, but she has been missing for the last almost three years. Where has the princess been? Well, maybe playing in the woods with some other ladies as Robin Hood to steal from the rich and give to the poor. Marian is different than what the other authors have told about her. I love this version of Marian and would want to be a friend of hers. She is a delightful character that is trying to be true to herself. Hoping her father would come home and right the evil that Prince John has bestowed on their land. Or is her father not coming back?

Merry Men

Well, more of Marian’s Maidens has evolved a lot throughout the three years that Marian has been in the woods. It’s great to see not only that Robin Hood changed but so has the band of men that Robin Hood has to help him steal from the rich and give to the poor. These ladies have helped shaped Marian into who she is now, and Marian is very grateful to them. Marian has helped the maidens with getting over their fears about why they were outcasted into the woods.

Five Stars

Marian, Princess Thief by C.K. Brooke, is a fabulous book by this amazing author. I love how she takes certain myths and change them up to show a heroine in control instead of being someone that is just a love interest. This time she has a different love interest than what I thought, and I like the two of them together as it is great to see someone change in a good light.

Marian, Princess Thief by C.K. Brooke, is a five-star worthy rating, and I am recommending it to anyone that likes retellings of fairytales.
