Ellie is publicly called both a hero and Robin Hood’s killer while she tries to clear her name.
Ellie and her friends steal from a baron to feed poor neighbours, while hospital patients suffer from hunger and illness.
After the baron names Ellie as Robin Hood’s killer, villagers form a mob intending to hunt her down.
Expect peril and distressing illness early on: a man dies after being shot with a poisoned arrow, a child coughs blood, and villagers form a mob. Poverty, bereavement and historic medical practices also appear.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
