Tricked by the Enemy: A Dark Robin Hood Retelling
They call me a god. A trickster. A monster.
What am I now?
Stripped of power. Broken and bleeding in the dirt of a mortal king's hunting ground. A man who should have died.
She found me.
Marion. Daughter of England's tyrant king. A witch in hiding, fire in her veins, fury in her eyes. She saved me when I should have burned. She hid me beneath her father's nose. And in doing so, she tied her fate to a god she does not know she rescued.
I swore off women. Desire makes fools of men, and I am no man's fool.
But this witch? She makes me furious. Every glance. Every word. Every time she dares defy me, I want to push her against the nearest wall and teach her what a god does to a woman who plays with fire.
She says she hates me. Perhaps she does. But hatred blazes hot, and her flame calls to mine.
So I give her a lie.
A name that was never mine.
Robin Hood.
She thinks I am a thief. A rebel. A man with a cause. She does not know I am the one who will steal her country from her father, her crown from her head, and her heart from her own chest before she even knows it is gone.
Her fire can restore what I have lost. Her body can remind me what I was. And if she dares to love me, despite the trickster, despite the ruin, despite the lie that I am building us on...
Then she will burn with me.
And the gods who took everything from me will learn what happens when you leave Loki alive.

This novel somehow managed to take one of the most chaotic gods in mythology and make me completely emotionally invested in his story. ⚡️
🌙 Tricked by the Enemy by Athena Rose feels like the calm before the storm and the storm itself all at once. While the larger battle against Osiris continues to build, this installment shifts the spotlight to Loki and Marion, and what a pair they are. 🏹🔥
❤️ Marion is compassionate, stubborn, and far stronger than she realizes. Loki is infuriating, hilarious, surprisingly vulnerable, and impossible not to root for. Their banter had me smiling 😏, their chemistry had me kicking my feet 🦋, and their journey through Sherwood Forest 🌲🐎 had me turning pages far too late into the night. 🌙📚
✨ What I loved most was how seamlessly Athena wove their romance into the larger story. Nothing feels separate from the overarching plot. Every choice, every revelation, every relationship feels like another piece moving into place as the series hurtles toward its finale. ⚔️👑
🌊 And while I came for Loki and Marion, I stayed for the growing tension surrounding the gods, the prophecies 🔮, the shifting alliances 🤝, and the feeling that something much bigger is coming. 💫
⚡️ If you’ve been following the Romancing the Seas series, this book delivers heart ❤️, humor 😂, mythology 🏛️, romance 💕, magic ✨, and some of the most significant character growth we’ve seen so far.
