Synopsis

“What on earth would I gain from that?” I asked him. “Risk my own neck by violating my banishment just to leave you? The sentence placed on me if I return is execution. If I’m entering the mountains again, I’d damn well better get something out of it.”Exiled from the Silverwood and the people she loves, Mae has few illusions about ever returning to her home. But when she comes across three out-of-place strangers in her wanderings, she finds herself contemplating the unthinkable: risking death to help a deposed queen regain her throne.And if anyone can help Mona Alastaire of Lumen Lake, it is a former Woodwalker—a ranger whose very being is intimately tied to the woods they are sworn to protect. Mae was once one of the best, and despite the potential of every tree limb to become the gibbet she’s hung from, she not only feels a duty to aide Mona and her brothers, but also to walk beneath her beloved trees once more.A grand quest in the tradition of great epic fantasies, filled with adventure and the sharp wit—and tongue—of a unique hero, Woodwalker is the perfect novel to start your own journey into the realm of magical fiction.

Woodwalker gave me the warm fuzzies. You know when something is familiar and comfortable and just makes you happy. Woodwalker just made me happy. I didn't feel bad or sad at the end. It gave me a lift. It's the story of Mae and the three royal siblings she's trying to sneak through the woods to thei......more

Mae is a Woodwalker, a cross between a ranger in the Tolkien tradition and a park ranger. But for speaking out against the Silverwood king, she had been exiled.

OKAY SO THAT WAS AWESOME My gosh. Is there anything I don't love about this book? The intricate politics, and the lavish description, and the understated but strong character development...it was all so well done. The plot twist. I have no idea how I didn't see that coming, but there it was, awesome an......more

Goodreads review by Beth on February 07, 2017

What a lovely, breezy, and surprising book! Woodwalker takes many epic fantasy tropes, like displaced royalty and dangerous quests, and twists them into something new and fun. I like to think I'm good at predicting the ends of books, but this one surprised me, and in a good way. I look forward to re......more

Goodreads review by Carmen on December 04, 2019

This book was such a fun read. I finished it in a day and it got me out of a rather impressive reading slump. I was hooked from the first page. Emily B. Martin has a lovely writing style that is fun and easy to read. At first I wasn't a fan of some of the characters, since I found them a bit self invo......more
