The Blind Bowman 1: Shadow of the Wolf

LoveReading4Kids Says

Shadow of the Wolf, the first book in The Blind Bowman series, sees author T.K. Hall shake up the Robin Hood story in thrillingly fresh style.

Presenting a fantastical take on the legendary tale, it melds environmental themes with adventure, ancient magick and myth to create an all-out character-driven rollercoaster of a story as Robin, Marian and their fellow outlaws strive to protect the forest from dark forces.

The writing is rich, suffused in nature alongside a raw sense of the characters’ quest. First published ten years ago, kudos must go to the publisher, David Fickling Books, for enabling a new generation to discover this epic trilogy. Stay tuned for Dark Fire and Wild Wood Rising.
