Forest Kingdom
Simon R. Green · 11 novels · 1990–2014
Simon R. Green's Forest Kingdom opens with Blue Moon Rising, in which Prince Rupert rides out into the Tanglewood on his unicorn to face down the good-and-evil, dragons-and-princesses trappings of a fairy-tale kingdom that turns out to hide darker complications underneath. The following books widen the cast around Rupert and the kingdom's court while keeping the same fantasy-adventure register. It's traditional-fantasy-with-a-twist rather than grimdark, built on familiar fairy-tale furniture used against type.
