The Devil of Arden (The Arden Duology Book 1) Kindle Edition

An exquisitely-written new romantasy that melds Robin Hood folklore with Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream to create a lush world full of danger, romance, whimsy, and magyk!Once upon a time, a girl made a bargain with a monster...Raised inside idyllic Locksley Abbey, Marina wants only a few stolen moments with her childhood sweetheart, and a thriving garden...where she can bury a terrible secret. As a desperate child, she made a bargain with the Forest of Arden’s most infamous faerie trickster. For ten years, she has dreaded the day he calls in her debt, and disguised her bartered magyk gift. When unexpected attention from the fanatical Sheriff of Nottingham leaves Marina with a freshly broken heart, and puts her beloved Abbey in danger, she is left with only one option: the Devil himself.Trapped in a dream-like forest with the Fair Folk from her storybooks, Marina quickly learns that nothing in the Arden is truly what it seems, including herself. Although echoes of her old life keep her suspended between worlds, the call of the Arden Court quickly becomes impossible to resist, as does the Devil determined to keep her there. Marina might be the only one capable of defending both her homes–from each other and from within. But if she hopes to hold back the gathering darkness, she must heal wounds caused not by magyk or steel, but by immeasurable love…and incalculable grief.This is Book I in The Arden Duology!Content Warnings can be found in the front of the ebook preview.
