The 8th Rank

The fairytales had it wrong. The Big Bad Wolf was a hero.

Betrayed by his own magic, Mal is clueless to who he truly is. With no memories, he's haunted by his missing past. When magic mirrors show Robin Hood is searching for him, Mal hopes this man might be his long-lost home.

Digging among the patchwork of his reclaimed memories, Mal journeys to uncover the depth of his relationship with Robin. Stolen moments together suggest friendship, but Mal craves something deeper. Thankfully, mages make for a tantalizing asset for any rebellion - and he's ready to devote himself to one cause: Robin Hood.

To keep them both alive, Mal will have to become what his enemies always feared: someone who's deadlier than a wolf that huffs and puffs - because together queer love can blow any kingdom down.
