Maid Marian's life is over.
Her cowardly father has betrothed her to the most reviled man in the land: the Sheriff of Nottingham. Devastated, she's sent on the quickest path to meet her husband, through the fae-infested Sherwood Forest.
But everything changes when her carriage is attacked by the most feared fae of all: the Merry Men, followers of the infamous Robin Hood. Kidnapped and waiting on the Sheriff's rescue, Marian finds herself surrounded by the magical creatures she's been raised to fear. But the more time she spends in their presence, Marian realises that not everything she's been taught by her family is true.
And Marian can't help but find herself drawn to her captor - the sinfully handsome Robin, who stands between her and returning to life amongst the humans.
As the Sheriff's men close in on Marian's location, she will soon be faced with the ultimate choice: the family she's always known, or the love she can choose for herself...
A breathtaking debut romantasy novel for lovers of Robin Hood, The Knight and the Moth and Heavenly Bodies.
