About this listen

Rip-roaringly romantic, fast-paced and funny - discover the brand new Sapphic historical fantasy adventure from the author of Gwen and Art Are Not in Love

‘You aren’t merry,’ said Clem to her captor. ‘And you aren’t all men. So there’s been some marketing confusion somewhere along the line.’

Mariel, a newly blooded captain of the Merry Men, is desperate to live up to the legacy of her grandfather, the legendary Robin Hood. Clem, a backwoods assistant healer known for her new-fangled cures, just wants to help people.

When Mariel's ramshackle band kidnap Clem as retribution for her guardian helping the Sheriff of Nottingham, all seems to be going (sort of) to plan … until Jack Hartley, Mariel’s father and Commander of the Merry Men, is captured in a deadly ambush. Determined to prove herself, Mariel sets out to get him back – with her annoyingly cheerful kidnappee in tow.

But the wood is at war. Many believe the Merry Men are no longer on the right side of history. Watching Clem tend the party’s wounds, Mariel begins to doubt the cause to which she has devoted her life. As the two of them grow closer, one thing is clear. They must prepare to fight for their lives – and for the lives of everybody in the greenwood.

I enjoyed spending time with these characters and rooting for them to overcome their obstacles. Croucher continues to be great at building an ensemble cast with unique characters with their own characteristics and stories separate to the leads.
An engaging story from the start with the instantly charming Clem.
Also loved the remixed take on the Robin Hood Mythos and legacy.

This storyline is fantastic with it's retelling of Robin Hood and his family. It is witty, clever and action packed adventure, I laughed out loud with its one liners from this swashbuckling gem. 💎 A beautiful romance blossoms as the green cloaks learn to reconnect to the old ways and become more. 💖
