Description

The latest civil war in England has come and gone, King John is dead, and the nobility of England gathers to see the coronation of his son, thirteen year old King Henry III. The new king is at the center of political rivalries and power struggles, but John of Locksley-son of the legendary Robin Hood and Lady Marian-only sees a lonely boy in need of friends. John and his sisters, Mary and Eleanor, succeed in befriending Henry, while also inadvertently uncovering a political plot, saving a man's life, and carrying out daring escapes. The Heirs of Locksley follows hot on the heels of Carrie Vaughn's The Ghosts of Sherwood, published in June 2020.

Reviews

"The story is fast-paced and fun, with much of the pleasure lying in the Vaughn's charming and distinct characterizations of the Locksley siblings. Most impressive is Vaughn's handling of the nonverbal Eleanor, who never feels forgotten or left out in scenes. Readers won't have to know much about the Robin Hood legends to be swept up in this quick, entertaining tale." --Publishers Weekly
