"Nick, an orphan raised at Locksley Abbey, has made friends with the Wildfolk: the Green Man, Robin Goodfellow, dryads, water sprites, and other paranormal creatures. He often hides in the nearly forgotten abbey crypt, where he found Elena, the goddess of sorcery, crossroads, and cemeteries. He carries her vessel and tries to learn from her wisdom. Robin Goodfellow lives with a curse. Half of each day he must spendas a hideous gnome with a bit of magic and near-immortality. The other half of the day he can live as Robin Hood, archer of legend. At the time of his curse sixty years before, an insane magician trapped Robin's love, Marian, in a secret chamber that keeps her in perpetual sleep. The only way Robin can break the curse is to awaken Marian while in his gnome form and have her recognize his true face. But the magic is breaking down. Marian will die if Robin doesn't break the curse soon. He needs Nick's help, his affinity for dark underground places, and Elena's whispers to find Marian's secret chamber and decipher the clues to breaking the curse om publisher's description.
