Geoffrey, Sheriff of Nottingham, upholds the King's Law to the letter. But one day an outlaw appears in the forest. Cunning, treacherous, and, against all expectation, a man to respect, his name is Robin Hood. The sheriff will never be the same.

Geoffrey's duties have begun to weigh on him as he enforces the rough justice of the king. His life - career, marriage - has been laid out in a path he has dutifully followed. Now, dead or alive, Robin Hood must be brought before the king, or Geoffrey will suffer the wrath of the Crown. As their deadly game of cat and mouse begins, in a game of torture and violence, Geoffrey stands at the most important crossroads of his life with everything to lose.
