Robin Hood as you've never seen him before; in a dark fantasy epic filled with ancient woodland magic, brutal surprises, beautiful writing and strongly environmental themes.
A world of gods and monsters. An elemental power, rising. This is Robin Hood, reborn, as he has never been seen before . . .ROBIN HOOD IS TRANSFORMED. Blinded by the Sheriff, he takes refuge in the ancient heart of Sherwood Forest, where primal powers and forgotten magicks reach out to him. But the wildwood itself is under threat, and the old gods face extinction. Only the blind bowman, Robin Hood, together with his soulmate, Marian, can stand against the forces of darkness . . .
It's dark and violent, a gory fantasy mashup with Game of Thrones and X-Men in its DNA * Guardian *
Astonishingly good. 5* * The Sun *
Breathless. Haunting. Wild. Magic * Jackie Morris *
Original, savage, powerful and incredibly moving. [Hall] captures the harshness and darkness of the ancient woodland so vividly; it is like the author himself has slid back in time. Robin and Marian are like you have never seen * Jilly Cooper *
A bold interpretation that's weird, wild and wonderful . . . Game of Thrones-style * SFX Magazine *
Mesmerising, don't miss it! * The Bookseller *
My favourite book of the year. Beautiful writing, a stunning mix of action and mystical folklore. A brilliant story * Sally Green *
