Outlaw princess of sherwood : Rowan hood series, book 3

Her father is determined to make her pay. It was just over a year ago that Princess Ettarde-her hand promised in marriage by her father to the power-hungry Lord Basil-escaped to the shroud of Sherwood Forest. There, Ettarde joined up with Rowan Hood's band of misfit teens, an outlaw-in-the-making and a princess no more. But now her father is determined to recapture her. He will do anything, even use his own wife-Ettarde's mother-as bait. In a cage. In the middle of Sherwood Forest. Ettarde will not stand for it, and neither will Rowan Hood. Nancy Springer delivers a stirring battle of wit and courage in this, the third in her Tales of Rowan Hood.
