After losing Marion to Holy Orders, Robin spends his waking hours in an increasingly drunken state and the outlaw band are left without a leader. Robin Hood has become a ghost. Meanwhile, Abbot Hugo has cleaned out the family coffers and secured a release for his brother, the Sheriff, from King John's prisons. But, the Sheriff isn't convinced that his deadliest enemy has entirely vanished from Sherwood. Marion is harbouring a secret which could lead to the capture of Robin, which she's unaware the Sheriff knows about as he plots his revenge. What Was Lost is the eleventh book in Spiteful Puppet's Robin of Sherwood collection, based in the Robin Hood universe of the classic ITV series.
