Mari Mancusi
Princess of Thieves
Synopsis
Marian comes home from a long trip abroad to find England unrecognizable: Robin Hood has been banished, her uncle King Richard is dead, and Nottingham is buckling under taxes that Prince John's regime has no intention of easing. Rather than wait for an outlaw to ride to the rescue, Marian decides to become one herself.
With her bow, her wits, and her fiercely loyal lady's maid Lady Kluck at her side, Marian takes to the forest to right the wrongs piling up in Robin's absence, uncovering the corruption behind the taxes and discovering just how much courage it takes to become the legend everyone else is still waiting for.
Seventeenth in Disney's Twisted Tale series, Princess of Thieves flips the classic 1973 Robin Hood by handing the bow, the outlawry, and the story itself to Marian.
