Red is the only Second Daughter born into the Valleida royal family in a century. And she has only one purpose - to be sacrificed to the Wolf. A monster that lives in the Wildwoods and once captured the five gods of this world. For Red herself, this outcome is almost deliverance. After all, inside her lives a dangerous force that cannot be controlled. Perhaps in the Wildwoods the girl will not be able to harm those she loves again. But the legends lie. The wolf is not a monster, but a man. Red's magic is her calling, not her curse. And if the girl doesn’t learn how to use it, true monsters will devour the Wildwoods... and with it the whole world. A fabulous retelling for fans of Marissa Meyer, Christina Henry and Naomi Novik! The story of Little Red Riding Hood as you've never seen it before + a dark version of Beauty and the Beast. The book became a New York Times bestseller immediately upon release. Incredible atmosphere, bright love story, memorable characters - everything we love in fairy tales.
