Cover Reveal: FOREST QUEEN by Betsy Cornwell
Feminist! Robin Hood! Retelling! Betsy Cornwell’s The Forest Queen goes beyond the traditional themes of economic justice in Robin Hood to explore “love, gender, the healing power of nature, and what it means to be a family.” Take a look at the beautiful cover below, read the synopsis, and mark your calendars for the book’s release next August! (Of course, you can preorder now.)
When sixteen-year-old Sylvie’s brother takes over management of their family’s vast estates, Sylvie feels powerless to stop his abuse of the local commoners. Her dearest friend asks her to run away to the woods with him, and soon a host of other villagers join them. Together, they form their own community and fight to right the wrongs perpetrated by the king and his noblemen. From a New York Times best-selling author comes this innovative, female-centered take on Robin Hood that will appeal to fans of Marissa Meyer and Sarah J. Maas.
