Rearview Mirror Chronicles
Robin Hood - The Wolf of Sherwood
Deep in the tangled heart of Sherwood Forest, beneath the canopy of ancient oaks and whispered rebellion, a shadow moved—swift, silent, and merciless to the powerful.
Robin Hood. Outlaw. Hero. Ghost.
With his band of hardened men—Little John, Will Scarlet, and Friar Tuck—they didn’t just defy the Sheriff of Nottingham… they waged a brutal, guerrilla war against a world rotten with injustice. And beside him stood Maid Marian—not a delicate damsel, but a fierce force in her own right, bound by loyalty, love, and blood.
They robbed the rich. But this was no fairy tale. This was survival. Resistance. Revenge.
For centuries, the story has been softened—turned into legend, coated in charm. But behind the songs and smiles lies something darker: a world of poverty, cruelty, and a people pushed to the brink. Was Robin Hood truly a saviour in the shadows—or just a myth born from desperation?
Join Keith as he strips away the romance and dives into the darker truth behind England’s most famous outlaw.
This is not the Robin Hood you think you know. This is the forest—and it does not forgive.
