An epic romantasy reimagining of Robin Hood, set in the same world and timeline as The Enemy’s Daughter, perfect for fans of Rebecca Ross’s Divine Rivals and Kristen Ciccarelli’s Heartless Hunter. In a desolate, lawless land, Marian carries a dangerous secret. By day, she’s a high-ranking guard serving her father, the ruthless Commander who rules the region with an iron fist. By night, she becomes a whip-wielding thief, robbing the cowards she works with, to help the miners they mistreat. That is, until Ryland catches her mid-raid. As an elite soldier charged with saving his homeland, Ryland has everything to gain by turning Marian in. Exposing her identity could help secure the coal his people desperately need. Or, it could blow everything apart—if Marian has her way. But Ryland holds his own secrets—untapped magic runs through his veins. A magic the Commander wants, along with invading Ryland’s distant settlement. So Marian has her orders: win Ryland’s heart to betray him and his people. And so begins a deadly dance of deception, stealing from the rich to give to the poor . . . and magic—the kind Ryland’s been waiting his whole life to wield.
