As
a young girl, Rachelle was apprenticed to her aunt to become a woodwife, to
learn protective charms and lore to protect her village from the forestborn and
woodspawn, inhuman creatures of the Great Forest. At fifteen, Rachelle strays
off the protective path and meets with a dark creature, becoming the very evil
she had been sworn to protect against.
In penance, she serves the king and is set to protect the King’s son
Armand from deadly enemies. Not what you would normally expect in a retelling
of Little Red Riding Hood, this rich, complex and dark tale will keep readers
in suspense.
