Journeys: the Archers of Saint Sebastian by Jeanne Roland

After witnessing her father murdered in a gruesome reenactment of Saint Sebastian’s torment, 15-year-old Marieke disguises herself as a boy to infiltrate the elite, all-male archers’ guild where she suspects she’ll find her father’s killers. But when the handsome Journeyman archer Tristan takes her under his wing as his squire at the guild, soon she’s determined to see him win the annual guild competitions. Keeping her identity hidden will be hard. Living in close quarters with all those gorgeous archers? That will be harder still. But the hardest thing of all will be keeping her vow to see Tristan win the honors robbed from her own father, without ever letting him find out she’s a girl. A girl, who loves him.
Robin Hood meets Mulan and Princess Bride in this frothy but literate slow-burn romantic romp through 14th century Belgium.
