Scarlet's (Scarlet) attempt to save Robin by accepting an unwanted marriage proposal goes awry when she learns that the political games being played by Lord Gisbourne, Prince John, and Eleanor of Aquitaine are much more complex than she ever imagined. Gaughen's reinterpretation of the Robin Hood sagas to foreground the roles of clever women gives new energy and romance to the tales.
