BLOOD MAGIC SEEPS INTO SHERWOOD FOREST IN THIS LUSH, GENDER-BENT REIMAGINING OF ROBIN HOOD

Everyone knows Sherwood Forest means death, be it by an outlaw’s blade, strangled by tree roots, or eaten by witch-spawned demons. No one faithful to the almighty goddess would willingly enter the woods. In the kingdom of Loxley, the crown princess Renna hides treasonous magic in her veins, praying that her private blood tithes to the official church will keep her power dormant.

When the High Sheriff of Nottingham returns from the war, he is far from the arrogant, brash sparring partner she remembers. His eyes, while still devastatingly handsome, are now haunted. The torment he endured at the hands of the enemy has forged him into a ruthless weapon—and he’s reigniting the hunt for witches like Renna.

It’s only when Renna’s vedra blood is exposed, forcing her to flee, that she discovers the truth: Sherwood Forest is nothing like they’ve been taught.

With its pockets of ever-blooming spring, a clever fox companion, and a merry band of outlaws, Renna is more at peace in the woods than she ever was in the palace. But soon the trees whisper of a growing evil that threatens both Sherwood and Loxley. And while Renna no longer has a crown, perhaps she can defend them all by wearing a hood.

Book 1 in the Renna Hood Dulogy. Perfect for fans of One Dark Window, The Foxglove King, and The Witcher. With romance simmering between enemies, elemental magic, and archery, this lush fantasy is steeped in delightful Robin Hood lore that will have you singing oo-de-lally.
