I AM MORGAN LE FAY<br />
“The equally suspenseful follow-up to<br />
Springer’s I Am Mordred again reinterprets<br />
Arthurian legend through the<br />
eyes of an archetypal villain, this time<br />
sorceress Morgan le Fay…Some parts of<br />
the story may be challenging to those<br />
unfamiliar with Camelot, but for fans of<br />
The Sword in the Stone and other Round<br />
Table retellings, Morgan’s side of the<br />
story will prove engrossing and thoughtprovoking.”<br />

ROWAN HOOD<br />
Outlaw Girl of Sherwood Forest<br />
“When her mother is murdered for being<br />
a woodwife (a healer), 13-year-old<br />
Rosemary has nowhere to turn except to<br />
the father she’s never met—the outlaw<br />
Robin Hood. Disguising herself as a boy,<br />
Rowan, she begins a perilous journey to<br />
Sherwood Forest…This tale is a charmer,<br />
filled with exciting action, plenty of<br />
humor, engaging characters, and a nice<br />
fantasy twist, as Rowan learns to use the<br />
gifts she got from her mother and their<br />
kin, the aelfe, the ageless ones in the forest—and<br />
in so doing discovers her destiny<br />
and the place where she belongs.”<br />

ROWAN HOOD RETURNS<br />
The Final Chapter<br />
“As 15-year-old Rowan faces not only<br />
physical dangers, but also the detrimental<br />
effects of revenge seeking, she approaches<br />
adulthood and an awareness of how<br />
best to use her powers. Springer weaves<br />
enough of the previous stories in for<br />
readers new to the series to follow the<br />
action, but this final volume is best read<br />
as the satisfying conclusion to the saga.”<br />

WILD BOY<br />
A Tale of Rowan Hood<br />
“Rook, another member of the band of<br />
Sherwood Forest outlaws…faces more<br />
than one kind of demon and deals with<br />
a dark internal struggle. Orphaned when<br />
one of the Sheriff of Nottingham’s man<br />
traps kills his father, the young man<br />
carries bitterness and hatred within and<br />
compares himself to the wild wolves<br />
that roam free and answer to no one,<br />
though he can’t quite bring himself to<br />
separate from Rowan’s band…The rich,<br />
descriptive language and the humor will<br />
engage…Springer masterfully develops<br />
Rook’s character and makes him someone<br />
with whom readers will empathize.”<br />
