Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo/DRM-free) Greenwode [LGBT Robin Hood Remix Historical Fantasy]

[ATDrake]

Greenwode by J. Tullos Hennig (ISFDB) is 1st novel in her The Wode series of folkloric remix historical fantasy with m/m romantic elements set in a reimagined druidic Robin Hood analogue of Merrie Olde England circa the 12th century, this one setting up the future adventures of peasant siblings Rob and Marion, the former of whom is prophesied to become the sworn enemy of a nobleman's son who will battle him for the titular “greenwode”, pitting the newer Church against the old pagan gods, but who instead tries to circumvent said prophecy by making love, not war, a tactic that may not work nearly as well as he hopes, free for a limited time courtesy of LGBT specialty publisher Dreamspinner Press' DSP Publications spinoff imprint for plot-centric other-genre titles which are not dedicated romance.

Apparently this is being made free to promote the new release of the 4th-in-series, which comes out later this month, and the 2nd novel, Shirewode, appears to be on sale for just $2.99 (couponable at Kobo and sometimes the publisher offers coupons for direct-buy sales from their webstore; rest of the series is ~$9 CAD).

Currently free @ B&N, Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians, and DRM-free @ Kobo), and directly from the publisher's webstore (DRM-free ePub/Mobi/PDF bundle available worldwide)

Description
The Hooded One. The one to breathe the dark and light and dusk between....

When an old druid foresees this harbinger of chaos, he also glimpses its future. A peasant from Loxley will wear the Hood and, with his sister, command a last, desperate bastion of Old Religion against New. Yet a devout nobleman's son could well be their destruction-Gamelyn Boundys, whom Rob and Marion have befriended. Such acquaintance challenges both duty and destiny. The old druid warns that Rob and Gamelyn will be cast as sworn enemies, locked in timeless and symbolic struggle for the greenwode's Maiden.

Instead, a defiant Rob dares his Horned God to reinterpret the ancient rites, allow Rob to take Gamelyn as lover instead of rival. But in the eyes of Gamelyn's Church, sodomy is unthinkable... and the old pagan magics are an evil that must be vanquished.
