Produktbeschreibung

For Queen and country.

Robyn Hood and his band of outlaws seek to raise the magical trine of the Old Religion against the tyranny of Church and Crown. Yet their forest kingdom roils with conflict, much of it from within.

Marion has fled the Church to join her brother's band, but old shackles and new fears hamper her ability to take up her birthright as Maiden to the Wode.

The outlaws hold to an uneasy truce with Gamelyn, also known as the defrocked Templar Guy of Gisbourne, once Robyn's fiercest enemy and now lover.

A lone traveller is waylaid, and common occurrence quickly proves uncommon. Knight and Maiden, Archer and Men, all are conscripted to aid a Queen's-and ultimately a King's-ransom...

For England lies divided, and beneath winter's chill lies struggle: for crown, for country, and for the Shire Wode's deepest magics.

-------

With a truly original take on the Robin Hood legends, this historical series sets Robin the outlaw archer as a queer, chaotic-neutral druid; Marion as pagan queen who is sister but not wife, and their consort a Christian--and thusly conflicted--nobleman.

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 live 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 in 2011 with the publication of an award-winning series of historical fantasy novels, and was awarded the Speculative Literature Foundation's juried Older Writers Grant. Her latest work, the award-winning Books of the Wode, is a truly innovative re-imagining of the Robin Hood legends, giving especial emphasis and reality to both pagan and queer perspectives. The finale of the series is due to release mid-2020. http: //www.jtulloshennig.net
