Wench

By Erynne Rivers

Maid Marian's father has promised her to the Sheriff of Nottingham. The journey to her unwanted marriage takes her through Sherwood Forest, home to the fae she has been taught to fear. When the Merry Men attack her carriage, she initially believes only the Sheriff's rescue can restore her future.

Captivity brings uncomfortable discoveries. The creatures described as monsters by her family do not fit the stories she knows, and their leader, Robin Hood, becomes increasingly difficult to resist. Each encounter unsettles Marian's understanding of where loyalty and danger truly lie.

As the Sheriff's men approach, Marian must choose what kind of life she is willing to claim. Edyne Rivers reimagines the familiar legend as an adult romantasy, placing forbidden attraction, magical conflict, and a woman's struggle for autonomy at the center of Sherwood's secrets.
