The Plot

In a world where destinies are written in blood and sacrifice is a tradition, Red, the only Second Daughter in centuries, faces a fate she cannot escape. To protect her kingdom, she is destined to be offered to the enigmatic Wolf in the Wood—an ancient creature feared by all. However, as Red embarks on her perilous journey, she discovers that the Wolf is not the monstrous being she expected, but a man with his own secrets and burdens.

As Red grapples with her burgeoning magical abilities, she begins to question the true nature of her gift. Is her magic a weapon that could harm, or a power that could save? With the Wilderwood teetering on the brink of chaos, Red must decide whether to embrace her heritage or defy it in a quest for freedom and understanding.
