League of Archers

League of Archers series.
Ellie's leadership of the League of Archers is tested when she accepts a young nobleman into the troop and fails to protect the peasants sheltering in the Greenwood. Ellie eventually succeeds in forging new alliances and improving the lives of Nottingham's villagers. Second in the "Robin Hood" re-visioning series, this volume depends too heavily on nearly bloodless battles and relentlessly earnest heroes.

League of Archers series.
The baron falsely identifies young orphan Elinor as the archer responsible for killing Robin Hood. Supported by four fellow-archer friends, Ellie takes to the forest to find the remnants of the Merry Men, save Maid Marian from execution, and salvage her own reputation. Howard cleverly reboots the "Robin Hood" legend, inserting a hefty dose of girl power and a reinvigorated sense of morality.
