Bitten by a vampire. Hunted by wolves. Driven by vengeance.
This is the untold story of Red.
Left beaten and bleeding in the forest, she should have died. Instead, she is found by a vampire — and given the power to destroy monsters, along with the hunger of becoming one.
As war smolders between vampires and werewolves, Red is pulled into a world older and darker than the fairy tales she once believed. Each act of vengeance brings strength… and costs her something she can never fully reclaim.
Caught between bloodlust and buried family secrets, Red must decide how much of her humanity she is willing to sacrifice — and whether the fragile connections she still feels are a weakness, or the last thing keeping her from becoming the very monster she hunts.
A dark reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood, this is a tale of vengeance, transformation, and what remains after happily ever after is no longer possible.
