The Forest Queen

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.

But when taking from the rich to give to the poor is no longer enough, what must an outlaw queen become?

• Robin Hood Retelling: In this female-centered twist on the classic legend, Lady Silvie of Loughsley trades her noble life for the dangers of the forest to protect her people.
• Strong Female Lead: Powerless against her cruel brother inside the castle walls, Silvie discovers a new kind of strength as she leads a band of outcasts and fights for justice.
• Friends to Lovers: She runs away with her childhood friend Bird, but their deep bond is tested as the line between loyalty and love begins to blur in their new life.
• Outlaw Heroine: When her community is threatened, Silvie must decide what lines she’s willing to cross to become the leader they need.
