Only Robin, the blind bowman, Marian, his childhood companion, and a band of rag-tag outlaws will be able to stand in their way. The forest is all.The start of a truly epic fantasy trilogy - filled with timely themes of environmentalism, the power of myths and myth-making, dynasty and inheritance, the mystical transcendence of love, and the clash of the ancient natural world with modern industry.

Reviews

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 *
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 *
