Springer's third Rowan Hood book focuses on Etty, a princess who joined Rowan's band of teen outlaws after running from an arranged marriage. Etty's cruel father imprisons his wife in a cage in the hope that the princess will turn herself in to free her mother. Marked by exciting action, interesting characters, and an intriguing moral dilemma, the short novel will appeal to reluctant readers as well as historical fiction fans.
