The Stolen Shadow. Robbin' Hood, #1

Robin Hood has spent eleven years becoming a legend. Then someone steals it. When a mysterious outlaw appears in Nottinghamshire wearing Robin's face, Robin's hood, and even Robin's voice, the people cheer for the wrong man - and the forest itself seems willing to accept the deception. At first, the impostor appears to be another clever thief stealing from corrupt nobles and tax collectors. But as sightings spread across the county, the stories surrounding the false Robin Hood begin to grow stranger.
Villagers claim he appears in multiple places at once. Nobles whisper of impossible disguises and enchanted documents. A child is reportedly healed by his touch. Worse still, the impostor may not simply be copying Robin Hood. He may be replacing him. As Robin and Marian investigate the conspiracy behind the deception, they uncover traces of the Sable Quill - a long-suppressed guild capable of forging more than signatures and seals.
Their magic can alter identity itself, reshaping how the world understands a person's name, reputation, and legend. And somewhere at the center of it all lies the shadow of Ashlin Crow, a con artist executed three years earlier for crimes he may never have committed. Now Robin must fight not only for his life, but for ownership of the myth he created - before another man becomes the "real" Robin Hood in the eyes of the world.
Blending fantasy, mystery, wit, conspiracy, and atmospheric medieval adventure, Robbin' Hood: The Stolen Shadow reimagines the Robin Hood legend as a story about identity, reputation, and the terrifying power of stolen myth.
