A fae-haunted Sherwood reshapes Marian’s story

This Robin Hood–inspired fantasy romance places Maid Marian at the crossing point of an arranged marriage and a dangerous journey through Sherwood Forest. After the Merry Men take her captive, she encounters the fae she was taught to fear and begins to question the beliefs and loyalties she inherited. Robin Hood is both her captor and the person to whom she feels drawn, while the Sheriff’s pursuit brings Marian’s divided future into focus. The central tension is personal as well as magical: whether to return to the life chosen for her or claim a different kind of attachment and independence. The setup combines familiar folklore with fae fantasy and a romance shaped by confinement, mistrust, and choice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers who enjoy Robin Hood retellings with a fantasy-romance focus.
  • For readers interested in fae, Sherwood Forest, and familiar folklore reimagined.
  • For readers drawn to stories about arranged marriage, inherited beliefs, and choosing one’s own attachments.

Book overview

'Without a doubt one of my all-time favorite fantasy novels' ★★★★★ Reader review

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.
