Produktbeschreibung

Daring the old gods. Defying the new.

The making of a legend-and a truly innovative re-imagining of Robin Hood.

When Rob of Loxley finds an injured nobleman's son in the forest, neither he nor his sister Marion understand what befriending young Gamelyn could mean for the future of their beliefs. Already the ancient spirits of the Old Religion are fading beneath the iron of nobleman's politics and the stones of church subjugation. More, the druid elders warn that Rob and Gamelyn are cast as sworn adversaries, locked in timeless and symbolic struggle for the greenwood's Maiden.

Instead, in a theological twist only a stroppy dissident could envision, Rob swears he'll defend the sacred woodland of the Horned God and Lady Huntress to his last breath if his god will let him be lover, not rival, to the one fated as his enemy. But in the eyes of Gamelyn's Church, sodomy is evil... and the old pagan beliefs must be subjugated-or vanquished

Autorenporträt

J TULLOS HENNIG has always possessed inveterate fascination in the myths and histories of other worlds and times. Despite having maintained a few professions in this world-equestrian, dancer, teacher, artist-she has never successfully managed to not be a storyteller. Ever. Given a heritage of forest-dwelling peoples-Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Scots-Irish-the decision to make a home base in NW Washington State with the Amazing Spouse was a no-brainer. They are fated to exist alongside a pair of equine freeloaders on retirement pensions, a wolfhound who alternates between leaping over the sofa and snoozing on it, and a press gang of invisible 'friends' Who Will Not Be Silenced. Active in conventions and genre literature in the 70s/80s/90s, Jeanine returned to the authorial fold with the publication of an award-winning series of historical fantasy novels. The Books of the Wode re-imagine the Robin Hood legends with a truly new approach, giving especial emphasis to queer and pagan perspectives. The finale of the series is due to release mid-2020.
