The 8th Rank

Forget the fairytale. The Big Bad Wolf was never a villain — he was a casualty.

Betrayed by his own magic, Mal wakes on a strange shore with no memory of who he is. When magic mirrors show Robin Hood searching for him, something stirs that feels older than reason — this man might be his long-lost home.

Piecing himself back together, Mal uncovers a past tangled in rebellion, royalty, and a relationship with Robin he can’t quite name. He craves something deeper than friendship. But the kingdom was built to destroy people like him.

Surviving Wonderland's royals means paying a debt with his own flesh and sanity. To protect the only man he loves, Mal must outlast a world that wants him gone — even if it means taking the throne himself.

Step out of the fairy tales you know and into the rebellion.
