How can Eliza Blackbird and her father Blokey No Name escape death when they are half breeds from a union between black blooded Romanies and English nobility, both of whom will kill to keep their noble line pure? Against a backcloth of nineteenth century Sherwood forest, living with tinkers, their story of love and laughter and sometimes fear and sorrow is played out. Blokey is transported to India for stealing and Eliza has a mysterious guardian appointed by her noble grandfather. Life on the road is hard. Will Blokey return? And will Eliza ever claim her title inheritance as she grows up to become a Chovahani a Romany sorceress, or with her undisputable fair Saxon colouring, a noble lady?
