Jackaroo
Gwyn, the independent-minded daughter of an innkeeper, finds the disguise of the legendary Jackaroo, a hero much like Robin Hood. After Gwyn assumes Jackaroo`s identity to help the poor, she discovers that she is not the only person to do such a deed. This is the first book in the four-part Kingdom Series.
