Summary
Someone is murdering the Merry Men....
It's been a mostly quiet life since Robin Hood put aside his pregnant wife, Marian, turned his back on his Merry Men and his former life and retreated to a monastery to repent his sins...although no one knows what was so heinous he would leave behind Sherwood Forest and those he loved most.
But when friends from their outlaw days start dying, Father Tuck, now the Abbott of St Mary's, suspects a curse and begs Marian to use her magic to break it. A grieving Marian must bargain for protection for her children before she sets out with a soldier who's lost his faith, a trickster Fey lord and a sullen Robin Hood, angry at being drawn back into the real world.
It's not long before Marian finds herself enmeshed in a maze of secrets and betrayals, tangled relationships and a vicious struggle for the Fey throne.
And if she can't find and stop the spell-caster, no protection in Sherwood Forest will be enough to save her children.
A wonderful reimagining of Robin Hood and Maid Marian, perfect for fans of Katherine Arden, Naomi Novik and Christina Henry.

I’m not sure what to make of it.
I found this an odd tale. You really have to lose yourself into fairy tale mode otherwise it’s not a great book. There are some beautiful descriptions and passages of wonderfully pretty and interesting storytelling.However, it’s not for those who wanted a realistic story of the next phase in Marian and Robin’s story. Instead it had elements of Sarah J Maas or Patrick Rothfuss, with a haunting sadness.
Good narration- the melancholy makes it hard for the talented reader to get a variety of tones at times but she succeeds in giving some great accents and good differentiation between characters.
I don’t know whether to recommend this novel or not!
