"This thrilling fantastical reimagining of Robin Hood reels with all the drama of a classic quest and of-the-moment environmental themes."
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.

Robin Hood has been blinded. The great forest of Sherwood calls to him. Ancient myths, old magicks, will reach out. He will be transformed. The world is changing; forces loyal to the Sheriff are threatening the wildwood, and the old gods face the threat of darkness.
Only Robin, the blind bowman, Marian, his childhood companion, and a band of rag-tag outlaws will be able to stand in their way. The forest is all.
The start of a truly epic fantasy trilogy - filled with timely themes of environmentalism, the power of myths and myth-making, dynasty and inheritance, the mystical transcendence of love, and the clash of the ancient natural world with modern industry.
