 By: Jenny Elder Moke

Location: FIC MOK

Genre: Retellings, Fantasy, Historical Fiction

You have the blood of kings and rebels within you, love. Let it rise to meet the call.
Isabelle of Kirklees has only ever known a quiet life inside the sheltered walls of the convent, where she lives with her mother, Marien. But after she is arrested by royal soldiers for defending innocent villagers, Isabelle becomes the target of the Wolf, the ruthless right hand of the corrupt King John. To keep her daughter safe, Marien helps Isabelle escape and sends her on a mission to find the only person who can save them now: the infamous outlaw Robin Hood. Who also happens to be Isabelle's father.

Isabelle races to stay out of the Wolf’s clutches and find the father she’s never known, thrusting her into a world of thieves and mercenaries, roguish young outlaws, new enemies with old grudges, and a king who wants her entire family dead. As she fights for her rightful place among the Merry Men in a desperate bid to stop the Wolf's merciless plans, can Isabelle find the strength to defy the crown and save the lives of everyone she holds dear?


In Hood, author Jenny Elder Moke reimagines the world of Robin Hood in lush, historical detail and imbues her story with more breathless action than has ever come out of Sherwood Forest before.

"HOOD is a retelling, and Elder Moke’s version is so tantalizing, I foresee a devout fandom in its future, complete with fanfiction. When an author envisions a world so rich with detail and lyrical descriptions, with a voice that’s funny and wise all at once, it’s impossible not to imagine the tales happening alongside our main narrative. Even as I read it, I immediately needed to know the origin story of Robin and Marien (so, get on that, please, author!).

With phenomenal world building, a strong and sensitive protagonist, a charming and hot romance, HOOD is a book you will treasure, just as a skilled archer does with her beloved bow."
