I wasn’t supposed to fall for a werewolf. He wasn’t supposed to break my heart. But he did—and I’m done letting ancient fairy tales decide my future. Sure, I’m named after the original Red Riding Hood (the real one, not the sanitized bedtime version), and yes, I was supposed to follow in her footsteps: master silver magic, protect the veil between humans and the supernatural, and become the next “wolf watcher” of the House of Red. But honestly? I’d rather eat dumplings and avoid werewolves altogether. That plan works… until Tobias Somfield shows up. He’s English. He’s brooding.

The ancient clutch of vampires known as the Ravens thought they could devour me, but I’ve hunted too long to be anyone’s prey.

The deeper I descend into the world of hoods, wolves, and slayers, the more I uncover about what I am—and what I was born to do. Court intrigue, family betrayals, and impossible choices dog my every step.
