The King of Sherwood Forest by Harleigh Beck (Paperback)

A dark retelling of Robin Hood. Sir Robin of Locksley has always held a place in my heart, even when I was promised to another. With blue eyes and unruly raven hair, he is the boy I was never meant to want. Betrothed to Sir Guy of Guisborne, one of Robin’s rivals, I try to accept the life chosen for me. But one final summer together changes everything, giving us a fleeting moment to hold onto before fate pulls us apart.

When Robin is sent away to fight in the crusades, distance is not the only thing that divides us. An enemy steps forward, offering a dangerous bargain I cannot refuse. At the same time, whispers spread through the land of an outlaw dressed in green, a man who robs the rich to give to the poor. Robin Hood has returned, now known as the king of Sherwood Forest, and he is determined to take revenge on the Sheriff of Nottingham and reclaim what was stolen from him.

As old wounds resurface and loyalties are tested, I find myself caught between duty, desire, and danger. Robin wants everything back, including me, but the past between us cannot be ignored. Trust becomes fragile, and every choice carries consequences that could change everything I thought I knew.

In a world shaped by betrayal, rebellion, and forbidden love, nothing is certain except the cost of survival.
