A stunning reimagining of Robin Hood, set in the same dystopian world woven with magic as The Enemy’s Daughter. An incredibly addictive YA enemies-to-lovers dystopian fantasy.

A soldier with magic. A thief with a secret. A spark that could burn their worlds down.

In a desolate, lawless land, Marian carries a dangerous secret. By day, she’s a high-ranking guard serving her father, the ruthless Commander who rules with an iron fist. By night, she becomes a whip-wielding thief, robbing the cowards she works with, to help those they mistreat.

That is, until Ryland catches her mid-raid. Revealing her identity could help him secure the deal he needs to save his homeland. Or, it could blow everything apart – if Marian has her way.

But Ryland holds his own secrets – untapped magic runs through his veins. A magic the Commander wants, along with invading Ryland’s distant settlement. Marian has her orders: win Ryland’s heart to betray him and his people.

And so begins a deadly dance of deception, stealing from the rich to give to the poor … and magic – the kind Ryland’s been waiting his whole life to wield.

Critic Reviews

Praise for The Enemy's Daughter:
‘A dangerously romantic page-turner that pushes the enemies-to-lovers trope to the height of what it should be. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! This will keep you up long past bedtime with ‘one more chapter’ syndrome’ Alwyn Hamilton, New York Times bestselling author of Rebel of the Sands
‘An unputdownable story with searing romance, buried secrets and shocking twists. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. At its heart, a tale of love, connection and empathy after the world as we know it has fallen. Breathtaking’ Rachel Greenlaw, author of Compass and Blade
‘The Enemy’s Daughter feels like the YA I grew up reading – magical, romantic and deeply nostalgic’ Sarah Underwood, New York Times bestselling author of Lies We Sing to the Sea
'Once I started this book, I couldn’t stop. Every word of this fresh, exciting romantasy was addictive – so much that I ignored everything else in my life to finish it. Poett immediately pulls you into a fast-paced read with the forced-proximity enemies-to-lovers chemistry of my dreams. With a magic system based on intimacy and feminist themes so timely for today, The Enemy’s Daughter is perfect for fans of Rebel Witch and Divine Rivals and is my number one romantasy rec!! It's a must read!’ Emily Varga, author of For She Is Wrath
‘I raced through it in one night. Deeply romantic, this is a compulsively addictive read’ The Bookseller

‘Reinvents the classic saga of Tristan and Isolde, delivering an exhilarating twist that will leave readers breathless. Poett immerses us in a spellbinding realm where magic collides with an enemies-to-lovers romance that crackles with intensity’ Emily Colin, author of the Seven Sins series
