Riassunto

The thrilling final book in A. C. Gaughen's action-packed and romance-filled Robin Hood retelling.

* "A rip-roaring tale." --Booklist, starred review, on Scarlet

Scarlet hasn't seen daylight in months--not since she sacrificed herself to save Robin's life and watched one of her dearest friends murdered right before her eyes. Locked away and constantly moved from dungeon to dungeon, Scarlet manages to escape against all odds. She desperately wants to return to Rob, until she learns of a dangerous plot that puts everyone in the kingdom in jeopardy. Armed with the truth about her heritage, Scarlet is the only one who can stop it . . .

Recensione:

Following in the tradition of Tamora Pierce's stories of feisty, kickass heroines and drawing on some factual underpinnings. . . Gaughen's tale will satisfy teen readers seeking action-packed romantic adventure set alluringly in another age. Fans of Scarlet will celebrate both this opportunity to revisit Gaughen's colorfully depicted long-ago world and her suspenseful ending to a lively story. (Kirkus Reviews)

A must-read series conclusion, sure to spark interest in the life and times of Richard the Lionhearted. (School Library Journal)

Scarlet is a worthy protagonist for adolescent female readers, and the love story between Robin and Marian adds starry-eyed entanglements to delight fans of that genre. The nonstop action that peppers the plot will entice male teens with a penchant for semihistorical fiction. (VOYA)

Debut novelist Gaughen does more than offer a rip-roaring tale, though it is that. The story, told in Scar's distinctive first-person voice, captivates and gets readers as deeply into the heart of a troubled girl. . . has plenty for both the romantic and the adventure lover. (starred review Booklist on SCARLET)

A reimagined Robin Hood tale with a distinctive twist. (RT Book Reviews on SCARLET)

Plenty of swashbuckling adventure and a hearty dose of romance power this re-imagining of the legend of Robin Hood. (School Library Journal on SCARLET)

Descrizione del libro:
