Daring the old gods. Defying the new.
The making of a legend—and a truly innovative re-imagining of Robin Hood.


Rob of Loxley and his older sister Marion have been groomed from birth to take their parents’ places within the Old Religion. Despite this, when Rob finds an injured nobleman’s son in the forest, neither he nor Marion understand what befriending young Gamelyn could mean for the future of their beliefs. Already the ancient spirits are fading beneath the iron of nobleman’s politics and the stones of Church subjugation. More, the druid elders warn that Rob and Gamelyn are cast as sworn adversaries, locked in timeless and symbolic struggle for the greenwood’s Maiden.

Instead, in a theological twist only a stroppy dissident could envision, Rob swears he’ll defend the sacred woodland of the Horned God and Lady Huntress to his last breath—if his god will let him be lover, not rival, to the one fated as his enemy.

But in the eyes of Gamelyn’s Church, sodomy is unthinkable... and the old pagan magics are an evil that must be vanquished

Industry Reviews

“Hennig’s Wode series continues to reinvent the legend of Robin Hood… Thick with conflict and intrigue, this retelling turns a well-known legend into a fresh, earthy tale of human passions twisted by politics and ancient powers.”  —Publishers Weekly

“There’s nothing quite so exciting as an author taking an overused traditional narrative and breathing full and rich life into it the way that Hennig does with her retelling of the Robin Hood/Green Man stories in her Greenwode series. I was smitten, right from the beginning.”  —Charles de Lint

“Hennig expertly weaves the threads together in seductive, evocative prose that put me in the scene as few others have ever done… An enthralling transformation of folklore and legend into something wonderfully original from start to finish.”  —Susan R. Matthews

“Given the author’s innate ability to take classic lore and make it new again through works of fantasy, fans of other genres or literature are sure to enjoy these.”  —Amazing Stories Magazine

“An intensely emotional, breathtaking version of the Robin Hood legend… Beautifully showcases the cultural and religious upheaval between peasant versus nobility, oppressed versus oppressors… Highly recommended.”  —Bella Online
