In 1224, the north of England has become lawless. Rapacious and corrupt sheriffs are a force of oppression, rather than justice. Robert Hode, a yeoman farmer, is forced to flee into the forests of Yorkshire. His only crime is to defend his home and family against Sir Gui de Gisburne, a brutal and charismatic Yorkshire knight and the sheriff's chief enforcer. Hunted like an animal, Robert falls into the company of Hobbe of Wetherby, the most wanted man in Yorkshire – and the most dangerous. When the sheriff orders Gisburne to kill the outlaws, Robert flees south into Barnsdale. There, he gathers a band of loyal followers around him and makes a new home in the greenwood.
