Arrows and Gems: A Retelling of Robin Hood and Snow White and Rose Red
A runaway princess. An honorable outlaw. A crime that hasn’t been paid.
Princess Helena has always struggled to belong. When she wakes from her twelve-year enchanted sleep, she tries to adjust to the changes in her life. But her childhood sweetheart’s marriage and the council’s plan to choose her husband push her too far.
Cap just wants to protect his friends and return the throne to the missing crown prince. But the unlawful regent has accused the crown prince of murdering the king, and Cap’s status as an outlaw makes it hard to investigate.
He’s wary of the woman he believes has been sent to trap him, but she has a way of slipping past his defenses. And he’s afraid she might be another sign that he shouldn’t trust his own judgment.
Can Helena and Cap work together to reveal the true murderer? Or will their insecurities and secrets destroy everything they care about?
Arrows and Gems is a clean, no-spice retelling of Robin Hood and Snow White and Rose Red. It is book four in The Roumaterra Chronicles, a series of interconnected, standalone fairy tale retellings perfect for readers of Brittany Fichter, Celeste Baxendell, and Annette K. Larsen.

Erin Halbmaier
Programmer. Composer. Author of clean, no-spice fairytale retelling/romance novels.
Erin Halbmaier’s love of a good tale covers multiple genres, but the relationships are always what draw her in. As such, she strives to create complex, compelling characters and put them in tense, dramatic situations as they seek the light in the midst of whatever darkness they may be facing. In essence, her characters have flaws and may kiss, but her fantasy/romance books will never be steamy, have minimal to no swearing, and minimal to no gore.
When not writing books (or reading them), she can be found programming or hanging out with her husband, two children, and two dogs at their home in the country.
The Roumaterra Chronicles
The Roumaterra Chronicles consists of five primary books, and includes two additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book.
