Headstrong Marian du Luc would rather traipse through Sherwood forest and spar with her family's antique sword than wear the fancy dresses and ribbons her mother favors. Nevertheless, she conforms to her mother's standards when her family is summoned to Nottingham Castle by the evil Prince John. Upon her arrival Marian is forced to endure the advances of the Sheriff of Nottingham while she secretly meets with the handsome outlaw 'Hood', who has captured her heart with his passion for justice. 
Court intrigue tangles Marian in its web when she discovers horrendous truths about Prince John and the sheriff, placing her life in jeopardy and forcing her to confront the hidden truths in her own family. Of course, everything would be easier if she wasn't head over heels with the one man the sheriff would risk anything, including the secret desire of the prince, to kill.

** Marian, a thieving nobleman's daughter with too big a heart, meets Robin Hood, a daring thief with a huge ego. Will they be able to overcome pain, longing, and, finally the cruel Sheriff of Nottingham? Or will the legend end before it begins? ** "Hope, be it never so faint, bringeth a gleam into darkness, like a little rushlight that costeth but a groat." ― Howard Pyle, The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood - In the heart of Nottinghamshire, the noblewoman Maid Marian has a secret double life as a thief by night. She steals from the chests of embezzlers and distributes her loot to the poor. When she crosses paths with the self-proclaimed King of Thieves, past and present collide, soon forcing her to choose between loyalty to the crown and the law - or rebellion. But it's not only the dangerous raids that swirl her life: soon she is torn between her feelings for the charming Robin Hood and the honourable Guy of Gisborne. Will Marian be able to bring justice to the kingdom? Will she lose her heart to the King of Thieves or will the righteous Guy of Gisborne be able to preserve her honour? In a story of love, courage and resistance, Marian's fate interweaves with the legends of Sherwood Forest. **** 🥇1st Place Literary Book Award - Adventure 🥇1st Place Lavender Awards - Historical Fiction 🥇 1st Place Ambrosia Awards - Best Cover 🥇 1st Place Ambrosia Awards - Historical Fiction 🥇 1st Place Phoenix Award - Best Cover 🥈 2nd Place - Tricolor Triennial Awards - Historical Fiction 🥈 2nd Place - The Wonder Awards - Fanfiction 🥈 2nd Place - The Nebula Awards - Historical Fiction 🥈 2nd Place - The Aster Awards - General Fiction **** Wattys2023 GERMAN WINNNER + Special Price for Most Engaging World Cover/Banner by Thinkerling

Disgraced Prince Gavin has one shot at redemption -- murdering an innocent girl. For payback. For revenge. For forgiveness. The reasons abound, but the mission remains the same. The blood of his kidnapped sister weighs heavy on the kingdom and, as the tragedy that befell her was the fault of Gavin, it's up to him to make it right. Told from the perspective of Gavin (aka Wren, his covert name) and the other members of his crew - an Academy graduate with something to prove, a sharpshooter with a broken voice, an assassin with a growing conscience - this novel mixes the intrigue of The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Count of Monte Cristo with a new twist on the Prince Charming tale.
