Twenty-year-old Amelia Marian isn’t afraid to stand up for herself. When a green-cloaked stranger enters her garden, she’s quick to draw her dagger and trap him in the shed. She knows the rumor of the thieves in the forest, and this blue-eyed rebel asking for her trust perfectly fits the description. “Trust is the sharpest weapon,” she warns him. He grins and vanishes into the night.
The encounter haunts her almost as much as the golden whispers that come when she touches Sherwood’s ancient trees. Through roots and bark, the forest shows her visions of a future she doesn’t understand: crumbling castles, revolution, and an archer moving like a living shadow through emerald darkness.
When Sheriff Vortigern of Nottingham threatens her father and forces Amelia into a betrothal, she has nowhere left to turn but the forest. She uses the trees to find Robin Hood, the outlaw she shouldn’t trust but can’t resist.
As he steals from the king’s corrupt collectors, she’s trapped between duty and desire. Rebellion ignites. Their stolen moments turn dangerous, and they must choose: lose each other to tyranny, or trust their love can change the world.
Emerald Shadow, Golden Whisper—where the trees remember everything, and some secrets are worth dying for.
