Fairy-Tale Survival Rule #52: No matter how difficult the obstacles or all-powerful the evil villain, one can rest assured that the hero of the story never dies. The sidekicks though…they should be worried.
Rexi Hood never wanted to play by anyone else's script. As the proud daughter of Robin Hood, she's grown up an outlaw. But sidekick? Accomplice? Sorry, that wasn't in her story description. With her fate bound to a princess's power, a dangerous curse threatens to turn her into nothing more than a forgotten footnote. However, Rexi refuses to let her name fade to ink.
With the rules of Story stacked against her and a wicked villain gaining strength in Camelot, Rexi hatches a plan as wild as she is: steal the legendary sword Excalibur and carve out a destiny of her own making.
Her journey is anything but ordinary. The boundaries between worlds blur as Oz, Camelot, and Sherwood Forest twist together in unexpected ways. Every turn brings fresh dangers, cunning villains, and impossible choices. With sharp wit, unexpected allies, and her own brand of bravery, she's determined to rewrite the rules, and her own future, before time runs out.
Perfect for fans of classic fairy tale retellings, laugh-out-loud YA fantasy, and stories where underdogs refuse to stay in the shadows, Wanted is the second book in The Storymakers series, where every page dares you to believe that a sidekick can steal the spotlight.
