New York: Crown Publishers, 2004. Book. Illus. by Edward Robert Hughes;. Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo. 307 pp. Brown boards lettered in green on the spine; headband. Dustjacket by Edward Robert Hughes. Lightly rubbed on the corners of the dustjacket; price intact; no interior markings. An orphan and heiress to a large country estate, Marian Fitzwater is wed at the age of five to an equally young nobleman, Lord Hugh of Sencaster, a union that joins her inheritance to his. But when she is seventeen, Lord Hugh, whom she hasn't seen in years, dies under mysterious circumstances. Marian is left alone again - a widow who has never been a bride. But now, like all unmarried young ladies of fortune, she is made the ward of King Richard the Lionheart. Since Richard is away on Crusade, Marian's fate lies in the hands of his mother, the formidable Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. The bridegroom Eleanor selects will get Marian's lands and, in return, pledge his loyalty - and silver - to the king. Marian herself is irrelevant and she knows it. Determined not to be sold into another sham marriage, she seeks out the one man who can help uncover the queen's intentions: Robin Hood, the notorious Saxon outlaw of Sherwood Forest..
