From a New York Times bestselling author, a fresh, female-centered
take on the Robin Hood legend in which a young noblewoman, like the
legendary hero, becomes an outlaw fighting for social justice. Perfect
for fans of Marissa Meyer and Sarah J. Maas.
When sixteen-year-old Silvie's brother takes over management of their
family's vast estates, Silvie feels powerless to stop his abuse of the
local commoners.
Her dearest friend asks her to run away to the woods with him, and soon
a host of other villagers join them. Together, they form their own
community and fight to right the wrongs perpetrated by the king and his
noblemen.
Perfect for fans of fairy tale retellings or anyone who loves a strong
female lead, this gorgeously written take on the Robin Hood tale goes
beyond the original's focus on economic justice to explore love, gender,
the healing power of nature, and what it means to be a family.
