Sherwood Forest is dying, strangled by a darkness far worse than greedy sheriffs.

Lord Malakor, the Necromancer King, rules from the jagged horror of Castle Necrottingham, his shadow bleeding across the land. Sunlight falters, fear is the only currency, and the dead do not rest easy. Malakor demands more than taxes; he demands the Bone Tithe, ripping the recently deceased from their graves for his unholy armies.

Robin Hood, no longer just an outlaw fighting for the poor, finds himself locked in a desperate struggle against unnatural horrors: skeletal warriors animated by cold magic, soul-leeching Wraiths guarding cursed crossroads, and a creeping blight poisoning the very heartwood of his sanctuary. Alongside Marian's sharp intellect, Little John's strength, and Friar Tuck's tested faith, Robin must forge new tactics to fight an enemy that defies mortal death.

But when Malakor unleashes Sir Kaelen the Grim – a terrifying Death Knight known as the Reaper of Sherwood – the fight for survival becomes a desperate hunt. Can Robin protect his people and his forest home from the relentless tide of undeath, or will Sherwood, and all of Nottinghamshire, be swallowed by the Ossuary King's chilling reign?

Dive into Book 1 of The Gravewood Legacy, a thrilling dark fantasy short story collection where the legend of Robin Hood clashes with the terrifying power of necromancy.
