Her biggest worries in the priory were avoiding the vicious Sister Catherine and her back-breaking chores, but when she *accidentally* shoots a king’s soldier and lands herself in prison, she learns that there are worse punishments than scrubbing the dormitory floors. As far as Isabelle is concerned, her whole existence is about to get turned upside down and inside out. JENNY ELDER MOKE: First of all: thank you for your kind words! Having readers discover and love my story has truly been the greatest joy of being a debut. What challenges is she up against as she leaves the convent behind? Her archery skills have landed her in serious trouble and on the run. Right from the first page readers know Isabelle’s quiet life is about to change dramatically. Sixteen-year-old Isabelle has grown up in a remote English convent under the care of her mother, the Prioress. JENNY CHOU: Hi Jenny! Thanks for chatting with me on the blog today.
Between that and richly developed emotional ties connecting the central characters, I couldn’t turn the pages quickly enough. Jenny Elder Moke explores the themes of trust and betrayal when she gives Isabelle an impossible choice to make, one with deadly consequences for her small family. The result is a great adventure story filled with lots of witty dialogue, an endearing thief as a love interest, and a strong female main character with the archery skills of Katniss Everdeen. This time readers get to experience Sherwood Forest and England under King John’s reign from the point of view of Robin Hood’s daughter, Isabelle.
