Synopsis

Rosemary 13, her half-elf mother burnt as a witch, sets off for her unknown father Robin Hood. She disguises herself as a boy Rowan, befriends half-wolf Tykell, overgrown enchanting minstrel Lionel, and runaway princess Ettarde. Vicious Guy of Gisborne makes an appearance, wearing a black horse-head hide. When Robin is found, he says his camp is no place for a girl.
