Synopsis: Ronin’s son is dead, but a sorceress banished to the Woods can bring the child back if he and his Silver Raiders do something for her first. She finds there's nothing Ronin Hood won't do for his son…

Anika finds herself drawn to the mystery of the Woods and the thieves who live within, but the cost of associating with the Silver Raiders becomes higher than she's willing to pay. The darkness of the Woods seeps into the Raider's hearts, blurring the lines between hero and villain, until Anika's fight for freedom turns into a fight to survive the magic of the trees that should have never been awoken.

This isn't the tale of Robin Hood you remember.

Review: I really like the writing of this book as well. this is a companion novel to the first book which is the storyteller's daughter the author does well in writing and in distinguishing the two different novels. The writing is also really unique in Robin Hood retellings because Robin Hood is a little bit of a bad guy here. Again the character development and world building are very well done and I really enjoyed this book.

The only issue I had with this book was the pacing. I felt that it was too slow for this book and I really just kind of wanted it to get to the point.

Verdict: this was a good book!
